V.L. (a) The commentary offers as a variant jyotsnämśakṛtsna-, J
jyotsnämsäkṛtsna-, HB jyotsāmśākṛtsa-, V jyotsnāmśākṛt sapāṇḍu-; VJHB
timiramast-; B -kalmāşam işacch. (c) I have adopted sakalam iva, which

The dawn-splendor of Savitar (Sürya) is gazed on by mortals
who are doubtful
Whether it is a pathway, reddened with ruby dust, coming from
[Mount] Sumeru,¹
Or perhaps the banner of [Sürya's] own chariot,³ made of [cloth]
dyed in saffron,
Or the madder-red row of streamers on the tossing heads of his
line of noble steeds.³
May the dawn-splendor of Savitar (Sürya) remove your sin"!
Notes. 1. For a description of Meru, or Sumeru, which was composed
of gold, and was the source of all precious stones, see stanza I, note 4.
2. For Surya's chariot, see stanza 8, note 2. 3. For Sürya's seven horses,
see stanza 8, note 2. 4. Lit. 'may the dawn-splendor of Savitar exist
for the removing of your sin.' 5. For the position of this stanza in
f's text, see stanza 26, note 1.
