Sanskrit Original
अ॒सौ यः पन्था॑ आदि॒त्यो दि॒वि प्र॒वाच्यं॑ कृ॒तः । न स दे॑वा अति॒क्रमे॒ तं म॑र्तासो॒ न प॑श्यथ वि॒त्तं मे॑ अ॒स्य रो॑दसी
asau yaḥ panthā ādityo divi pravācyaṃ kṛtaḥ na sa devā atikrame taṃ martāso na paśyatha vittaṃ me asya rodasī
He who first traversed the path of the Sun and proclaimed it in the sky — neither gods nor mortals overstepped that law; behold, O Dawn, this wealth of mine.
The sun, who is avowedly made the path in heaven, is not to be disregarded, Gods, by you; but you, mortals, regard him not. Heaven and earth be conscious of this (my affliction).
That pathway of the Sun in heaven, made to be highly glorified, Is not to be transgressed, O Gods. O mortals, ye behold it not. Mark this my woe, ye Earth and Heaven.
