Sanskrit (Devanagari)

धर्ता दिवो रजसस पर्ष्ट ऊर्ध्वो रथो न वायुर्वसुभिर्नियुत्वान | कषपां वस्ता जनिता सूर्यस्य विभक्ता भागं धिषणेव वाजम

IAST Romanisation

dhartā divo rajasas pṛṣṭa ūrdhvo ratho na vāyurvasubhirniyutvān | kṣapāṃ vastā janitā sūryasya vibhaktā bhāghaṃ dhiṣaṇeva vājam

English Translation (Griffith)

Supporting heaven, the high back of the region, his car is Vāyu with his team of Vasus. Illumining the nights, the Sun's creator, like Dhiṣaṇā he deals forth strength and riches.
