Sanskrit text [Accents, Plain, Transliterated]:
शु॒क्रं ते॑ अ॒न्यद्य॑ज॒तं ते॑ अ॒न्यद्विषु॑रूपे॒ अह॑नी॒ द्यौरि॑वासि । विश्वा॒ हि मा॒या अव॑सि स्वधावो भ॒द्रा ते॑ पूषन्नि॒ह रा॒तिर॑स्तु ॥

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
Cf. Nirukta, 12.17; you are like the sun: Pūṣan is identified with both day and night, or is considered as their regulator
