O Savitṛ, thou impeller! Thou who dost set all things in motion! At the dawn of each day, it is thou who dost awaken the world. The sun doth rise at thy command; the birds do begin to sing.

All creatures stir themselves and go about their tasks. The cattle do rise from their resting places. The merchants do prepare their goods for trade. The workers do take up their tools. All do this at thy urging, O Savitṛ!

Thou art the giver of motion and of energy. Without thee, all would remain still and lifeless. The world would be as stone; nothing would grow or change. But through thy power, all things do move and do live.

At the setting of the sun, it is thou who dost bring all things to rest. The birds do return to their nests. The cattle do settle down to sleep. The day's labor doth come to an end. And the world doth find peace in the darkness of the night.

Yet even in the darkness, thy work doth continue. Thou dost cause the planets to move in their courses. Thou dost guide the seasons in their turning. Thou art never still; thou never ceasest from thy labors.

We do thank thee, O Savitṛ, for the gift of motion. Without thee, we would not exist. Accept our worship! Accept our hymns! Be gracious unto us, O impeller of all things!
