HYMN XXXI

To Sūrya the Sun-God 1. This spotted Bull hath come and sat before his mother in the    east.   Advancing to his father Heaven. 2. As expiration from his breath his radiance penetrates within.   The Bull shines out through all the sky. 3. He rules supreme through thirty realms—One winged with song    hath made him mount   Throughout the days at break of morn.
