RV 4 13.1

प्रत्य् अग्निर् उषसाम् अग्रम् अख्यद् विभातीनाꣳ सुमना रत्नधेयम् । यातम् अश्विना सुकृतो दुरोणम् उत् सूर्यो ज्योतिषा देव एति

praty agnir uṣasām agram akhyad vibhātīnāṁ sumanā ratnadheyam | yātam aśvinā sukṛto duroṇam ut sūryo jyotiṣā deva eti

Agni, well-disposed, has looked out toward the vanguard of the dawns as they shine forth, (looked toward) the bestowing of treasure. Come, Aśvins, to the house of the man of good works: the god Sūrya rises up with his light.

ऊर्ध्वम् भानुꣳ सविता देवो अश्रेद् द्रप्सꣳ दविध्वद् गविषो न सत्वा । अनु व्रतꣳ वरुणो यन्ति मित्रो यत् सूर्यꣳ दिव्य् आरोहयन्ति

The god Savitṛ has propped up his beam on high, shaking out his banner like a warrior seeking cattle. Varuṇa and Mitra go along in accord with (his) ordinance, when they make Sūrya mount in heaven.

RV 4 13.4

वहिष्ठेभिर् विहरन् यासि तन्तुम् अवव्ययन्न् असितꣳ देव वस्म । दविध्वतो रश्मयः सूर्यस्य चर्मेवावाधुस् तमो अप्स्व् अ१न्तः

vahiṣṭhebhir viharan yāsi tantum avavyayann asitaṁ deva vasma | davidhvato raśmayaḥ sūryasya carmevāvādhus tamo apsv a1ntaḥ

With your best-carrying (steeds) you drive, drawing out the thread, unwrapping the black garment, O god. The quivering rays of Sūrya have thrust the darkness down like a hide into the waters.

RV 4 13.5

अनायतो अनिबद्धः कथायꣳ न्यङ्ङ् उत्तानो ऽव पद्यते न । कया याति स्वधया को ददर्श दिवः स्कम्भः समृतः पाति नाकम्

anāyato anibaddhaḥ kathāyaṁ nyaṅṅ uttāno 'va padyate na | kayā yāti svadhayā ko dadarśa divaḥ skambhaḥ samṛtaḥ pāti nākam

Unstretched, untied — how is it that this one, turned downward, turned upward, does not fall down? By what self-power does he travel? Who has seen it? Being the prop of heaven, fitted together, he guards the vault.
