1Slaying the Rākshasas, the Sun mounts upward in the front of heaven, Āditya, from the mountains, seen of all, destroying things unseen. 2The kine had settled in their pen, wild animals sought their lairs The wavelets of the brooks had passed away, and were beheld no more. 3I have brought Kanva's famous Plant, life-giving, and itself inspired, The medicine that healeth all: may it suppress my hidden foes.
