Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN CLXXXIX. Sūrya

1. THIS spotted Bull hath come, and sat before the Mother in the east, Advancing to his Father heaven. 2 Expiring when he draws his breath, she moves along the lucid spheres: The Bull shines out through all the sky. 3 Song is bestowed upon the Bird: it rules supreme through thirty realms Throughout the days at break of morn.
