Atharva Veda 6.1: In praise of Savitar
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
Sing, Atharvana, at eve, sing loudly, bring a splendid present: hymn God Savitar with praises.
Yea, praise him whose home is in the river, Son of Truth, the youthful, gracious friend whose word is guileless.
Savitar our God shall send us many everlasting treasures, that both paths may well be travelled.
