ता सुदेवाय दाशुषे सुमेधामवितारिणीम् । घृतैर्गव्यूतिमुक्षतम्
For the well-worshipping, generous one, bestow good wisdom and guidance; pour out streams of milk with ghee.
आ न स्तोममुप द्रवत्तूयं श्येनेभिराशुभिः । यातमश्वेभिरश्विना
Come swiftly to our hymn, you two, with your falcons, with your rapid steeds; come, O Ashvins, with your horses.
येभिस्तिस्रः परावतो दिवो विश्वानि रोचना । त्रीँरक्तून्परिदीयथः
With which you traversed the three distant shining realms of heaven, you two passed through all the regions.
उत नो गोमतीरिष उत सातीरहर्विदा । वि पथः सातये सितम्

आ नो गोमन्तमश्विना सुवीरं सुरथं रयिम् । वोळ्हमश्वावतीरिषः
To us, O Ashvins, bring wealth rich in cattle, strong men, splendid chariots, and abundance with horses.
वावृधाना शुभस्पती दस्रा हिरण्यवर्तनी । पिबतं सोम्यं मधु
Ever-growing, lords of beauty, wondrous ones, with golden wheels, drink the honeyed Soma.
अस्मभ्यं वाजिनीवसू मघवद्भ्यश्च सप्रथः । छर्दिर्यन्तमदाभ्यम्

नि षु ब्रह्म जनानां याविष्टं तूयमा गतम् । मो ष्वन्याँ उपारतम्
To the prayers of the people, come near; hasten here; do not turn aside to another.
अस्य पिबतमश्विना युवं मदस्य चारुणः । मध्वो रातस्य धिष्ण्या
Of this sweet exhilaration, O Ashvins, you two drink, you lords of the chariot, of the honeyed gift.
अस्मे आ वहतं रयिं शतवन्तं सहस्रिणम् । पुरुक्षुं विश्वधायसम्

उत नो दिव्या इष उत सिन्धूँरहर्विदा । अप द्वारेव वर्षथः
May you grant us blessings from heaven, and from the flowing rivers; may you pour them down as through doors.
कदा वां तौग्र्यो विधत्समुद्रे जहितो नरा । यद्वां रथो विभिष्पतात्
When will the son of Tugra, having set out on the sea, be abandoned by you, O men, or when will your chariot break apart?
युवं कण्वाय नासत्या ऋपिरिप्ताय हर्म्ये । शश्वदूतीर्दशस्यथः
You, O Nasatyas, have always favored Kanva, the generous one, in his house, with your constant aids.
ताभिरा यातमूतिभिर्नव्यसीभिः सुशस्तिभिः । यद्वां वृषण्वसू हुवे
Come with those newer, most auspicious aids, by which I, calling you, O mighty ones, seek your favor.
यथा चित्कण्वमावतं प्रियमेधमुपस्तुतम् । अत्रिं शिञ्जारमश्विना
