  1. Ṛgveda 7.78.1, English WE have beheld her earliest lights approaching: her many glories part, on high, asunder. On car sublime, refulgent, wending hither, O Usas, bring the Wealth that makes us happy. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  2. Ṛgveda 7.78.2, English The fire well-kindIed sings aloud to greet her, and with their hymns the priests are chaming welcome. Usas approaches in her splendour, driving all evil darkness far away, the Goddess. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  3. Ṛgveda 7.78.3, English Apparent eastward are those lights of Morning, sending out lustre, as they rise, around them. She hath brought forth Sun, sacrifice, and Agni, and far away hath fled detested darkness. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  4. Ṛgveda 7.78.4, English Rich Daughter of the Sky, we all behold her, yea, all men look on Dawn as she is breaking. Her car that moves self-harnessed hath she mounted, the car drawn onward by her well-yoked horses. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  5. Ṛgveda 7.78.5, English Inspired with loving thoughts this day to greet thee, we and our wealthy nobles have awakened. Show yourselves fruitful, Dawns, as ye are rising. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings. Ralph T.H. Griffith
