RIGVEDA –BOOK 5-HYMN LXXXII. Savitar.
The best, all-yielding, conquering gift of Bhaga we would gladly win. 2 Savitar's own supremacy, most glorious and beloved of all, No one diminisheth in aught. 3 For Savitar who is Bhaga shall send riches to his worshipper. That wondrous portion we implore. 4 Send us this day, God Savitar, prosperity with progeny. Drive thou the evil dream away. 5 Savitar, God, send far away all sorrows and calamities, And send us only what is good. 6 Sinless in sight of Aditi through the God Savitar's influence, May we obtain all lovely things. 7 We with our hymns this day elect the general God, Lord of the good, Savitar whose decrees are true. 8 He who for ever vigilant precedes these Twain, the Day and Night, Is Savitar the thoughtful God. 9 He who gives glory unto all these living creatures with the song, And brings them forth, is Savitar.
