Atharva Veda 19.12: A prayer to Ushas or Dawn for wealth and long life
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
Dawn drives away her sister's gloom, and through her excellence makes her retrace her path.
Through her may we gain God-appointed treasure, and with brave sons be glad through hundred winters.
