O glowing one, O powerful lord of the sun, you are the chief of all the demigods.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

O best of the devatās! O Savitā! O shining sun! O destroyer of ignorance, suffering and sin for men who offer prayers daily at all times by the path of the Vedas! I mediate on you who light up your globe. O best of the devatās! O Savitā! I mediate on he who lights up the sun globe. O destroyer of ignorance (bīja), suffering, and sinful acts for men who praise you through Vedic mantras, at all times, every day!
