Praise the Ashvins, the mighty ones; call them for fame and offering; come near, O swift ones, drive away the tricksters.
वैयश्वस्य श्रुतं नरोतो मे अस्य वेदथः । सजोषसा वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा
You have heard of Vaiyaśva, O heroes, and you know of him; Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman are united with him.

With your gifts, O divine ones, and with your guidance among the noble, day by day, O mighty ones, teach me.

He who, surrounded by your sacrifices, like a bride adorned, serves you, O Ashvins, has fashioned beauty.
यो वामुरुव्यचस्तमं चिकेतति नृपाय्यम् । वर्तिरश्विना परि यातमस्मयू
He who discerns your vast and most generous favor, seeking the path of nobility, O Ashvins, let your chariot circle around him.
अस्मभ्यं सु वृषण्वसू यातं वर्तिर्नृपाय्यम् । विषुद्रुहेव यज्ञमूहथुर्गिरा

The most excellent praise of offerings calls you as messengers, O Ashvins; become present with us.
यददो दिवो अर्णव इषो वा मदथो गृहे । श्रुतमिन्मे अमर्त्या
Whatever you bring from the ocean of heaven, or from the house of riches, O immortals, I have heard of it.
उत स्या श्वेतयावरी वाहिष्ठा वां नदीनाम् । सिन्धुर्हिरण्यवर्तनिः
And among rivers, the Sindhu with golden course is the swiftest for you, O Ashvins, drawn by the white steed.
स्मदेतया सुकीर्त्याश्विना श्वेतया धिया । वहेथे शुभ्रयावाना
May you, O Ashvins, be mindful with your radiant wisdom, riding in your shining chariot, accompanied by noble fame.
युक्ष्वा हि त्वं रथासहा युवस्व पोष्या वसो । आन्नो वायो मधु पिबास्माकं सवना गहि
Harness your chariot, O mighty one; accept the nourishment, O gracious lord; come to us, Vayu, drink the sweet soma, enter our offering.
तव वायवृतस्पते त्वष्टुर्जामातरद्भुत । अवांस्या वृणीमहे
O Vayu, lord of the ritual, wondrous kinsman of Tvashtar, we choose your favor.
त्वष्टुर्जामातरं वयमीशानं राय ईमहे । सुतावन्तो वायुं द्युम्ना जनासः
We seek Vayu, the kinsman of Tvashtar, the lord of wealth; the people, possessing soma, desire his brilliance.
वायो याहि शिवा दिवो वहस्वा सु स्वश्व्यम् । वहस्व महः पृथुपक्षसा रथे
Vayu, come from the auspicious sky, bring us good horses; bring greatness on your broad-winged chariot.
त्वां हि सुप्सरस्तमं नृषदनेषु हूमहे । ग्रावाणं नाश्वपृष्ठं मंहना
We call you, most excellent among the swift, in the dwellings of men; the stone, not the horse's back, with praise.
स त्वं नो देव मनसा वायो मन्दानो अग्रियः । कृधि वाजाँ अपो धियः
So you, O god Vayu, delighting in our minds, foremost, grant us strength, waters, and wisdom.
अग्निरुक्थे पुरोहितो ग्रावाणो बर्हिरध्वरे । ऋचा यामि मरुतो ब्रह्मणस्पतिं देवाँ अवो वरेण्यम्
Agni is invoked as the priest, the stones, the sacred grass at the ritual; with a hymn I approach the Maruts, Brahmanaspati, and the gods, seeking their noble protection.
आ पशुं गासि पृथिवीं वनस्पतीनुषासा नक्तमोषधीः । विश्वे च नो वसवो विश्ववेदसो धीनां भूत प्रावितारः
You encompass cattle, earth, trees, dawn, night, and herbs; may all the Vasus, all-knowing, be the protectors of our thoughts.
प्र सू न एत्वध्वरोऽग्ना देवेषु पूर्व्यः । आदित्येषु प्र वरुणे धृतव्रते मरुत्सु विश्वभानुषु
Let our offering advance, O Agni, ancient among the gods; among the Adityas, among Varuna of firm vows, among the Maruts shining everywhere.
विश्वे हि ष्मा मनवे विश्ववेदसो भुवन्वृधे रिशादसः । अरिष्टेभिः पायुभिर्विश्ववेदसो यन्ता नोऽवृकं छर्दिः
All-knowing, beneficent to mankind, increasing the world, the Vasus are fierce; with safe protection, all-knowing, may they grant us a shield free from harm.
आ नो अद्य समनसो गन्ता विश्वे सजोषसः । ऋचा गिरा मरुतो देव्यदिते सदने पस्त्ये महि
May all the gods, united in purpose, come to us today; with hymn and song, may the Maruts, divine Aditi, in her great dwelling, be present.
अभि प्रिया मरुतो या वो अश्व्या हव्या मित्र प्रयाथन । आ बर्हिरिन्द्रो वरुणस्तुरा नर आदित्यासः सदन्तु नः
O Maruts, may your beloved offerings, those accompanied by horses, come forth; may Indra, Varuṇa, the mighty ones, and the Ādityas sit upon our sacred grass.
वयं वो वृक्तबर्हिषो हितप्रयस आनुषक् । सुतसोमासो वरुण हवामहे मनुष्वदिद्धाग्नयः
We, with strewn sacred grass and devoted offerings, having pressed Soma, call upon you, Varuṇa, as men call upon Agni.
आ प्र यात मरुतो विष्णो अश्विना पूषन्माकीनया धिया । इन्द्र आ यातु प्रथमः सनिष्युभिर्वृषा यो वृत्रहा गृणे
Come forth, O Maruts, Viṣṇu, Aśvins, Pūṣan, with unerring thought; let Indra, the foremost, the bull, the slayer of Vṛtra, come with those who bring gifts, whom I praise.
वि नो देवासो अद्रुहोऽच्छिद्रं शर्म यच्छत । न यद्दूराद्वसवो नू चिदन्तितो वरूथमादधर्षति
Grant us, O gods, a shelter that is unbroken and secure; for not even from afar, O Vasus, nor now from near, does any harm reach the one whom you protect.
अस्ति हि वः सजात्यं रिशादसो देवासो अस्त्याप्यम् । प्र णः पूर्वस्मै सुविताय वोचत मक्षू सुम्नाय नव्यसे
For you, O righteous gods, there is kinship; for you, O gods, there is abiding help; now speak to us for earlier and present welfare, swiftly for new favor.
इदा हि व उपस्तुतिमिदा वामस्य भक्तये । उप वो विश्ववेदसो नमस्युराँ असृक्ष्यन्यामिव
For now, indeed, I have praised you; for the enjoyment of your bounty; I, who bow to you, all-knowing ones, have approached as one seeking another.
