Ode to Darkness
(Rig-Veda-Mandala X, Sukta 127)
Night spreads wide, she comes everywhere, a Goddess with shining eyesshe looms over these glories as their overlord. [1]
The Immortal Goddess fills up the Vast above and below. She compels the darkness with her light. [2]
The Goddess comes and veils her sister, the Dawn, and glows through the blackness. [3]
She is now that to us wherein we shall rest even as birds do on a tree. [4]
In her repose all habitations, all the footed and winged creatures, even the fast racing eagle. [5]
O Ocean-born Goddess! Smite the wolf, he or she, smite the robber! Carry us safely through. [6]
Black darkness clings to me all around, it stands here firm. O Dawn! clear it even as you do my debts. [7]
Daughter of Heaven! A Herd of light is this hymn of victory that moves towards you. I have made it for your sake. Do thou accept it, O Night. [8]
