Atharva Veda 7.22: To Savitar, or Yama invested with Savitar's attributes
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
Unto a thousand sages he hath given sight: thought, light is he in ranging all.
The Bright One hath sent forth the Dawns, a closely gathered band, Immaculate, unanimous, brightly refulgent in their homes.
