अविष्टं धीष्वश्विना न आसु प्रजावद्रेतो अह्रयं नो अस्तु । आ वां तोके तनये तूतुजानाः सुरत्नासो देववीतिं गमेम
Ashvins, inspire our thoughts so that in them may be fruitful seed; let our offering be without delay. May your favor come to our children and descendants; endowed with good gifts, may we reach divine worship.
एष स्य वां पूर्वगत्वेव सख्ये निधिर्हितो माध्वी रातो अस्मे । अहेळता मनसा यातमर्वागश्नन्ता हव्यं मानुषीषु विक्षु
This is your ancient treasure, as in friendship, placed for us, sweet and bestowed. With unhindered mind, come near, accepting our offering among the human tribes.
एकस्मिन्योगे भुरणा समाने परि वां सप्त स्रवतो रथो गात् । न वायन्ति सुभ्वो देवयुक्ता ये वां धूर्षु तरणयो वहन्ति
In one gathering, in the same union, your seven-horsed chariot circles around. The splendid, divinely yoked steeds do not tire, those swift runners who carry you in the harness.
असश्चता मघवद्भ्यो हि भूतं ये राया मघदेयं जुनन्ति । प्र ये बन्धुं सूनृताभिस्तिरन्ते गव्या पृञ्चन्तो अश्व्या मघानि
Be generous to those who are bountiful, who distribute gifts and wealth. Those who spread kindness among kin, who fill with cattle and horses, grant them riches.

Your chariot, Ashvins, moves with the speed of thought, crossing the spaces, a hundredfold. May it bring us the wealth of the sun.
अयं ह यद्वां देवया उ अद्रिरूर्ध्वो विवक्ति सोमसुद्युवभ्याम् । आ वल्गू विप्रो ववृतीत हव्यैः
This mountain, O divine ones, stands high, revealing the soma for you both. The inspired priest would offer you the oblations.
चित्रं ह यद्वां भोजनं न्वस्ति न्यत्रये महिष्वन्तं युयोतम् । यो वामोमानं दधते प्रियः सन्
Indeed, your food is wondrous and abundant; you grant the mighty to the threefold. Whoever cherishes your favor becomes dear to you.
उत त्यद्वां जुरते अश्विना भूच्च्यवानाय प्रतीत्यं हविर्दे । अधि यद्वर्प इतऊति धत्थः
That offering, Ashvins, was made for you, for Chyavana, as a fitting sacrifice. When you bestowed your form upon him.
उत त्यं भुज्युमश्विना सखायो मध्ये जहुर्दुरेवासः समुद्रे । निरीं पर्षदरावा यो युवाकुः
And your companions, Ashvins, abandoned Bhujyu in the midst of the ocean, far away. You rescued him, O youthful ones.
वृकाय चिज्जसमानाय शक्तमुत श्रुतं शयवे हूयमाना । यावघ्न्यामपिन्वतमपो न स्तर्यं चिच्छक्त्यश्विना शचीभिः
For the wolf, even for the helpless, you are able; you are renowned for being called upon for sleep. You fill the waters for the cows, Ashvins, with your powers, even for the weak.

Your chariot, bound to heaven and earth, golden, should come with strong horses. Its axle is greased, shining with brilliance; the lord, master of steeds, brings you nourishment.
स पप्रथानो अभि पञ्च भूमा त्रिवन्धुरो मनसा यातु युक्तः । विशो येन गच्छथो देवयन्तीः कुत्रा चिद्याममश्विना दधाना
Spreading wide, it traverses the five regions, triple-yoked, moving with mind, harnessed. By it you visit the divine peoples, wherever, Ashvins, you establish your presence.
स्वश्वा यशसा यातमर्वाग्दस्रा निधिं मधुमन्तं पिबाथः । वि वां रथो वध्वा यादमानोऽन्तान्दिवो बाधते वर्तनिभ्याम्
With your splendid horses, you have come near, O gracious ones; drink the honeyed treasure. Your chariot, drawn by the bride, travels and overcomes the boundaries of heaven with its tracks.

The radiant daughter chose your glory, as the sun chooses the dawn. When you aided the one seeking the gods with your powers, your swift wings carried you forth.

He who is your charioteer, O Ashvins, travels with the dawn, driving the chariot around its course. With him, bring us happiness at the breaking of the day, Ashvins, in this sacrifice.
नरा गौरेव विद्युतं तृषाणास्माकमद्य सवनोप यातम् । पुरुत्रा हि वां मतिभिर्हवन्ते मा वामन्ये नि यमन्देवयन्तः
O heroes, like thirsty cows seeking lightning, come to our pressing of the Soma today. Many call upon you with their thoughts; let not others restrain you, O divine ones.
युवं भुज्युमवविद्धं समुद्र उदूहथुरर्णसो अस्रिधानैः । पतत्रिभिरश्रमैरव्यथिभिर्दंसनाभिरश्विना पारयन्ता
You carried Bhujyu, cast into the sea, across the waters with your swift, tireless, unwearied flying horses, Ashvins, saving him with your jaws.

That favor of yours, Ashvins, is ready to help; even the warmth of man in his home assists. He who guides you across oceans and rivers, even with a well-yoked team, attains this.
यानि स्थानान्यश्विना दधाथे दिवो यह्वीष्वोषधीषु विक्षु । नि पर्वतस्य मूर्धनि सदन्तेषं जनाय दाशुषे वहन्ता
The places you have set, Ashvins, in the heavens, among herbs, and in the fields, rest on the mountain's summit; you carry them for the worshipper.
चनिष्टं देवा ओषधीष्वप्सु यद्योग्या अश्नवैथे ऋषीणाम् । पुरूणि रत्ना दधतौ न्यस्मे अनु पूर्वाणि चख्यथुर्युगानि
That favor of yours is found among herbs and waters; when you attain the worthy deeds of the sages, you grant many treasures to us, and you recount the former generations.

This thought, this song, Ashvins, may you mighty ones accept with joy. These hymns are newly composed for you; always protect us with blessings.

The dawn drives away darkness, clearing the path for the red one. We invoke you for wealth in horses and cattle, by day and night; may you ward off harm from us.
