Let us meditate on the most auspicious (best) form of Savitri, on the Light of the Supreme which shall illumine us with the Truth.

कृष्णं नियानं हरयः सुपर्णा अपो वसाना दिवमुत्पतन्ति।
त आववृत्रन् त्सदनादृतस्यादिद् घृतेन पृथिवी व्युद्यते ॥४७॥
समानमेतदुदकमुच्चैत्यव चाहभिः।
भूमिं पर्जन्या जिन्वन्ति दिवं जिन्वन्त्यग्नयः॥५१॥

kṛṣṇaṁ niyānaṁ harayaḥ suparṇā apo vasānā divamutpatanti,
ta āvavṛtran tsadanādṛtasyādid ghṛtena pṛthivi vyudyate. 47
samānametadudakamuccaityava cāhabhiḥ,
bhūmiṁ parjanyā jinvanti divaṁ jinvantyagnayaḥ. 51

Rig Veda 1.164.47, 51.

The luminous birds with wings of beauty have clothed them-selves with waters and they surge up along a dark path towards the heaven. They have returned from the seat of Truth and in their bright energy lift up the earth to the wideness. (47)

The same waters flow upward and again flow downward, day by day.
The divine showers give life to the earth; the fires give life to heaven. (51)
