ऋतावरी असि उषः देवानां पुरोहितो महान्
विश्वा रूपाणि प्रतिमोदमानो वि राजसि

बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः शतं हिमाः

Sa No Yajnasya Suvite Dadhatu Vishvadanim
Brihadvadema Vidathe Suvirah Shatam Himah
Translation:
O Ushas, faithful follower of Cosmic Order, You are the great and revered leader among the Gods;
Rejoicing in all cosmic forms, You shine forth in universal splendor;
May You establish our sacrifice in auspicious fortune at all times,
And may we speak loftily in the sacred assembly through a hundred winters.
