HYMN 82 Savitar

1

WE crave of Savitar the God this treasure much to be enjoyed.
The best, all-yielding, conquering gift of Bhaga we would gladly win.

2

Savitar's own supremacy, most glorious and beloved of all,
No one diminisheth in aught.

3

For Savitar who is Bhaga shall send riches to his worshipper.
That wondrous portion we implore.

4

Send us this day, God Savitar, prosperity with progeny.
Drive thou the evil dream away.

5

Savitar, God, send far away all sorrows and calamities,
And send us only what is good.

6

Sinless in sight of Aditi through the God Savitar's influence,
May we obtain all lovely things.

7

We with our hymns this day elect the general God, Lord of the good,
Savitar whose decrees are true.

8

He who for ever vigilant precedes these Twain, the Day and Night,
Is Savitar the thoughtful God.

9

He who gives glory unto all these living creatures with the song,
And brings them forth, is Savitar.
