Translation -
О mighty one (the sun), looking at this most noble earth, rush in with utmost speed. Your supreme birth place is in heaven; in the mid-space is your navel; and the womb, from which you are born, is verily here on the earth. (1)
Notes -
According to traditionalists, a horse, an ass and a he goat are addressed to in this and the following mantras. These animals have been posted looking eastward. First of all, the horse, representing the dditya in the sky, vayu in the mid-space and agni on earth is addressed. Dayananda is not convinced with this explanation. We have translated ‘vajin’ as mighty one, the sun. To translate it as horse seems improper here. Anu sainvatam, समक् विभक्ताम्, properly divided. Most extended (Griffith). The sun stays in the sky, in the mid-space and on earth in different forms.
