The Mothers who dwell in one abode, desiring came to him who desired them and gave him pleasure as to their eternal spouse: the sisters took joy in him as the Ray-Cows in the Dawn when she comes dusky, flushing red, then shining out in rich hues.SRI AUROBINDO

nábhaḥ ná rūpám jarimā́ mināti purā́ tásyāḥ abhí-śasteḥ ádhi ihi ǁ
O Fire, mayst thou not forget4 ancient friendships, thou who art turned towards us as the knower and seer. As a mist dims a form, age diminishes us; before that hurt falls upon us, arrive5.
1 Or, gain for us knowledge in the Gods.
2 Or, a host. It may mean the army of the life-gods, marutām śardhaḥ.
3 Goṣu, in the Ray-Cows, the shining herds of the Sun
4 Or, neglect or wipe out
5 Or, give heed, before that assault comes upon us.
