1MAY Sūrya guard us out of heaven, and Vāta from the firmament,     And Agni from terrestrial spots.

2Thou Savitar whose flame deserves hundred libations, be thou pleased:     From failing lightning keep us safe.

3May Savitar the God, and may Parvata also give us sight;     May the Creator give us sight.

4Give sight unto our eye, give thou our bodies sight that they may see:     May we survey, discern this world.

5Thus, Sūrya, may we look on thee, on thee most lovely to behold,     See clearly with the eyes of men.
