RV 51 (3)

2 The richly−coloured Dawns have mounted eastward, like pillars planted at our sacrifices, 3 Dispelling gloom this day the wealthy Mornings urge liberal givers to present their treasures. 4 O Goddesses, is this your car, I ask you, ancient this day, or is it new, ye Mornings, 5 With horses harnessed by eternal Order, Goddesses, swiftly round the worlds ye travel, 6 Which among these is eldest, and where is she through whom they fixed the Rbhus' regulations? 7 Blest were these Dawns of old, shining with succour, true with the truth that springs from holy Order; 8 Hither from eastward all at once they travel, from one place spreading in the selfsame manner. 9 Thus they go forth with undiminished colours, these Mornings similar, in self−same fashion, 10 O Goddesses, O Heaven's refulgent Daughters, bestow upon us wealth with store of children. 11 Well−skilled in lore of sacrifice, ye Daughters of Heaven, refulgent Dawns, I thus address you. 2 Unfailing, Mother of the Kine, in colour like a bright red mare, 3 Yea, and thou art the Asvins' Friend, the Mother of the Kine art thou: 4 Thinking of thee, O joyous One, as her who driveth hate away, 5 Our eyes behold thy blessed rays like troops of cattle loosed to feed. 6 When thou hast filled it, Fulgent One! thou layest bare the gloom with light. 7 Thou overspreadest heaven with rays, the dear wide region of mid−air.
