725 33. Keen (tigmá), shining out (vi-bhrāj), sharpening himself, granting the helpful (? araṁgamá) advances, a winged one full of light, a vigor-bestowing bull (mahiṣá), he hath approached (ā-sthā) all the directions, arranging (kḷp).

34. Wondrous front [and] show (ketú) of the gods, the sun, full of light, going up the directions (pradíç), the day-maker, bright (çukrá), hath overpassed with brightnesses (dyumná) the glooms (támas) [and] all difficulties.

35. The wondrous front of the gods hath arisen, the eye of Mitra, of Varuṇa, of Agni; he hath filled heaven-and-earth, the atmosphere; the sun is the soul of the moving creation (jágat) and of the stationary (tasthivā́ṅs).

36. Flying on high (uccā́), the red eagle, in the midst of the sky hasting, shining—may we see thee, whom men call the impeller (savitṛ́), the unfailing light which Atri found.

37. To the eagle running on the back of the sky, to the son of Aditi, I, frightened, approach (upa-yā), desiring refuge; do thou, O sun, lengthen out for us a long life-time; may we take no harm; may we be in thy favor.
