रयिꣳ सुक्षत्रꣳ स्वपत्यम् आयुः सुवीर्यꣳ नासत्या वहन्ता । आ जह्नावीꣳ समनसोप वाजैस् त्रिर् अह्नो भागꣳ दधतीम् अयातम्
O Nāsatyas, you brought wealth, noble rule, offspring, long life, and heroic strength; you came to Jahnavi, united in purpose, bearing prizes, granting her a threefold share of the day.

Even for the sake of a single arrow, you came to aid; from below or above you made your steeds ready to protect; even for one lying down, O Nāsatyas, with your powers, for the eager youth, you filled the cow with milk.
अवस्यते स्तुवते कृष्णियाय ऋजूयते नासत्या शचीभिः । पशुꣳ न नष्टम् इव दर्शनाय विष्णाप्वꣳ ददथुर् विश्वकाय
To the one who calls, to the one who praises, you respond, O Nasatyas, with your powers; as one finds a lost animal for seeing, you grant the all-desired object to the seeker.
दश रात्रीर् अशिवेना नव द्यून् अवनद्धꣳ श्नथितम् अप्स्व् अ१न्तः । विप्रुतꣳ रेभम् उदनि प्रवृक्तम् उन् निन्यथुः सोमम् इव स्रुवेण
For ten nights and nine days, bound and fettered within the waters, Rebha, separated and loudly crying, you two led forth, O Ashvins, as Soma is poured with the ladle.
