Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Rig Veda 7:77 Like a youthful maiden, Dawn shines brightly forth Stirring to motion every living creature. Divine fire was kindled for the use of men; Dawn created light, driving away the dark. (1) Sending out her beams, she rose up facing all, in brilliant robes, resplendent, radiating - Golden-colored and glorious to behold, Mother of plenty, mistress of the days she shone. (2) Blessed, bearing the sun, the eyes of the Gods, Leading her white horse, magnificent to see, Dawn reveals herself, arrayed in beams of light And with boundless glory she transforms the world. (3) O fair one, banish the enemy with light ! And prepare for us broad pastures free from fear ! Ward off hatred, bring us your priceless treasure ! O bountiful, shower blessings on the singer ! (4) Illumine us with your glorious splendor, O divine Dawn ! Enrich and lengthen our lives, O Goddess full of grace ! Grant us fulfillment And cows, horses, and chariots in abundance ! (5) O Daughter of Heaven, Dawn of noble birth, Whom the men of glory celebrate in hymns, Establish in us wealth sublime and mighty ! O Gods, protect us always with your blessings !
