“She walked in their front towards a greater light,
Their leader and queen over their hearts and souls,
One close to their bosoms, yet divine and far.”
Savitri B4,
C3
This is the knot that ties together the stars:
The Two who are one are the secret of all power,
The Two who are one are the might and right in things.
Savitri, B1, C4
Night spreads wide, she comes everywhere, a Goddess with shining eyes – she looms over these glories as their overlord.
The immortal Goddess fills up the Vast above and below. She compels the darkness with her light.
The Goddess comes and veils her sister, the Dawn, and glows through the blackness.
She is now that to us wherein we shall rest even as birds do on a tree.
Black darkness clings to me all around, it stands here firm. O Dawn! Clear it even as you do my debts.
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.
Rig Veda
Translation by Nolini Kanta Gupta
Morning meditation at the Amphitheatre.
Almost they saw who lived within her light
Her playmate in the sempiternal spheres
Descended from its unattainable realms
In her attracting advent’s luminous wake,
The white-fire dragon-bird of endless bliss
Drifting with burning wings above her days:
Savitri, p.16
