Rishi: KUTSA Deity: SURYA
The sun is the Truth-Light.
The Sun follows the divine resplendent Ushas as a man does a woman. Then do seekers of God extend (the sacrifice) over ages to the auspicious (Truth) for happy weal.
The auspicious Steeds, lustrous, many -hued, leading to the goal, duly praiseworthy, worshipful, have ascended to the summit of the sky and they speed round Earth and Heaven instantly.
Such is the divinity, such the greatness of the Sun that he withdraws what spread over the task unfinished. When he has unyoked his coursers from their station, then does the Night spread the veil over all.
In the lap of the sky the Sun displays his form in the sight of Mitra and Varuna; his bay-steeds well maintain his eternal power, bright (at one time) and dark (at another).
