Savitar fixed the earth with bands to bind it, and made heaven stedfast where no prop supported. Savitar milked the wind, as if it were a restless horse, tethering the air and sea to what no foot had touched.
Savitar, Child of Waters, well knows where the ocean, firmly fixed, overflows its limits. There arose the world from there; from there heaven spread out and the wide earth expanded.
With a full company of immortal beings, this other realm came later, high and holy. First indeed, Savitar’s eagle with strong wings was born; and he obeys his law forever.
As warriors to their steeds, cows to their villages, as loving mothers bring forth calves, May Savitar come down to us, heaven’s bearer, Lord of all blessings.
Like the Aṅgirasa Hiranvastupa, I invoke you, Savitar, to this achievement: Thus worshipping and praising you for your favor, I watch for you as for the Soma stalk.
