एता उ त्या उषसः केतुमक्रत पूर्वे अर्धे रजसो भानुमञ्जते । निष्कृण्वाना आयुधानीव धृष्णवः प्रति गावोऽरुषीर्यन्ति मातरः
etā u tyā uṣasaḥ ketumakrata pūrve ardhe rajaso bhānumañjate | niṣkṛṇvānā āyudhānīva dhṛṣṇavaḥ prati gāvo'ruṣīryanti mātaraḥ
These dawns here have made their beacon; in the eastern half of the space they anoint their light. Making (all) ready like bold (warriors) their weapons, the ruddy cows, the mothers, come forward.

These Dawns have raised their banner: in the eastern half of middle air they spread abroad their shining light. Like heroes who prepare their weapons for the fray, the cows are coming on, the mothers, red of hue.

SV 2 8316.2
उदपप्तन्नरुणा भानवो वृथा स्वायुजो अरुषीर्गा अयुक्षत । अक्रन्नुषासो वयुनानि पूर्वथा रुशन्तं भानुमरुषीरशिश्रयुः
udapaptannaruṇā bhānavo vṛthā svāyujo aruṣīrgā ayukṣata | akrannuṣāso vayunāni pūrvathā ruśantaṃ bhānumaruṣīraśiśrayuḥ
The ruddy beams have flown up at will; the ruddy ones have yoked the easily-yoked cows. The dawns have made the marks (of time) as before; the ruddy ones have set up a gleaming light.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Rapidly have the ruddy beams of light shot up: the red cows have they harnessed, easy to be yoked. The Dawns have made their pathways as in former times: redhued, they have attained refulgent brilliancy.

अर्चन्ति नारीरपसो न विष्टिभिः समानेन योजनेना परावतः । इषं वहन्तीः सुकृते सुदानवे विश्वेदह यजमानाय सुन्वते
arcanti nārīrapaso na viṣṭibhiḥ samānena yojanenā parāvataḥ | iṣaṃ vahantīḥ sukṛte sudānave viśvedaha yajamānāya sunvate
They sing like busy women at their tasks, (coming) from afar by the same course, bringing refreshment to the good-doer, the generous giver, indeed to every sacrificer who presses (soma).

They sing their song like women active in their tasks, along their common path hither from far away, Bringing refreshment to the liberal devotee, yea, all things to the worshipper who pours the juice.
