HYMN XXXI

To Sūrya the Sun-God

1This spotted Bull hath come and sat before his mother in the
   east.
  Advancing to his father Heaven. p. a214
2As expiration from his breath his radiance penetrates within.
  The Bull shines out through all the sky.
3He rules supreme through thirty realms—One winged with song
   hath made him mount
  Throughout the days at break of morn.
