O Dawn, whose enterprises never fail and who understands all things, accept our songs. O ancient yet ever-youthful Goddess, you proceed in accordance with Law, endowed with wealth and fullness.
Rig Veda III, 61, 1
O immortal Goddess, beam forth your rays. Let your shining chariot, loaded with gifts, bring you hither in the company of your docile steeds, your powerful steeds, O golden Lady!
Rig Veda III, 61, 2
Arising, you turn your face toward all creatures. You, O Dawn, are the emblem of the Immortal. You who each day proceed to the same goal, direct toward us, O Maiden, your chariot.
Rig Veda III, 61, 3
Spinner of light, beautiful Dawn, you proceed on your way to your wonted haunts. You bring light to birth, O generous One, and encompass the confines of Heaven and Earth.
Rig Veda III, 61, 4
It is because Thou, O Lord, art birthless, that some rare souls, frightened by birth and death, take refuge in Thee. O Rudra, may Thy benign face protect me for ever!
Yajur Veda, Svetasvatara Upanishad, Part I, Chapter IV, 21
