Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 20 — Chapter 123
AV 20 123.1
तत् सूर्यस्य देवत्वं तन् महित्वं मध्या कर्तोर् विततं सं जभार । यदेद् अयुक्त हरितः सधस्थाद् आद् रात्री वासस् तनुते सिमस्मै
tat sūryasya devatvaṃ tan mahitvaṃ madhyā kartor vitataṃ saṃ jabhāra | yaded ayukta haritaḥ sadhasthād ād rātrī vāsas tanute simasmai
That is Sūrya's godhead, that his greatness: in the midst of his work he gathered in what had been spread out. When he has unyoked the ruddy mares from their station, then Night spreads out her garment for each one.

This is the Godhead, this the might of Sūrya: he hath with- drawn what spread o'er work unfinished. When he hath loosed his horses from their station, straight over all night spreadeth out her garment.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
AV 20 123.2
तन् मित्रस्य वरुणस्याभिचक्षे सूर्यो रूपं कृणुते द्योर् उपस्थे । अनन्तम् अन्यद् रुशद् अस्य प्राजः कृष्णम् अन्यद् धरितः सं भरन्ति
tan mitrasya varuṇasyābhicakṣe sūryo rūpaṃ kṛṇute dyor upasthe | anantam anyad ruśad asya prājaḥ kṛṣṇam anyad dharitaḥ saṃ bharanti
That form Sūrya makes in the lap of heaven, for Mitra and Varuṇa to look upon. Endless is the one, his bright radiance; the other, the black, the bay mares gather up.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
In the sky's lap the Sun this form assumeth for Mitra and for Vāruna to look on. His bay steeds well maintain his power eternal, at one time bright and darksome at another.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
