O Mitra and Varuṇa! O Sūrya, thou radiant one! Ye three who dwell in the highest heaven! Ye guardians of the day and watchers of the cosmic order!

The sun runneth his course across the heavens, never tiring, never faltering. Thou dost see all that happeneth upon the earth below, O Sūrya! Nothing escapeth thy gaze; nothing hideth from thy light!

Mitra and Varuṇa dwell beside thee, O golden one! Together ye hold all things in perfect balance! Ye are the pillar upon which the universe resteth!

Grant unto us the blessing of thy light! Warm our fields so that the crops may grow! Ripen our fruits and our grains! Make our days bright and our nights peaceful!

Banish the darkness that dwelleth in the hearts of the wicked! Let thy rays penetrate every hidden place and reveal all that is secret! O Sūrya, thou illuminator of all things, accept this hymn of praise! Grant us thy favor and thy protection! Let us bask in thy warmth and thy light!
