प्रत्यु॑ अदर्श्याय॒त्यु१॒॑च्छन्ती॑ दुहि॒ता दि॒वः । अपो॒ महि॑ व्ययति॒ चक्ष॑से॒ तमो॒ ज्योति॑ष्कृणोति सू॒नरी॑
pratyu adarśyāyatyu1cchantī duhitā divaḥ apo mahi vyayati cakṣase tamo jyotiṣkṛṇoti sūnarī
She, the milker, ascends, appearing forth; heaven gives milk. Waters flow forth, the eye dispels darkness and makes light for the sons.
The daughter of heaven is everywhere beheld advancing and shedding light; she drives away the deepdarkness that objects may meet the eye; the kind guide of man, she diffuses light.
ADVANCING, sending forth her rays, the Daughter of the Sky is seen. Uncovering, that we may see, the mighty gloom, the friendly Lady makes the light.
