1 YE Aśvins, rich in treasure, Lords of splendour, having nimble hands, Accept the sacrificial food.

2 Ye Aśvins, rich in wondrous deeds, ye heroes worthy of our praise, Accept our songs with mighty thought.

3 Nāsatyas, wonder-workers, yours are these libations with clipt grass: Come ye whose paths are red with flame. 
índrā́ yāhi citrabhāno sutā́ imé tuvāyávaḥ |
áṇvībhis tánā pūtā́saḥ || 
4 O Indra marvellously bright, come, these libations long for thee, Thus by fine fingers purified.

5 Urged by the holy singer, sped by song, come, Indra, to the prayers, Of the libation-pouring priest.

6 Approach, O Indra, hasting thee, Lord of Bay Horses, to the prayers. In our libation take delight.

7 Ye Viśvedevas, who protect, reward, and cherish men, approach Your worshipper's drink-offering. 
víśve devā́so aptúraḥ sutám ā́ ganta tū́rṇayaḥ |
usrā́ iva svásarāṇi || 
8 Ye Viśvedevas, swift at work, come hither quickly to the draught, As milch-kine hasten to their stalls. 
víśve devā́so asrídha éhimāyāso adrúhaḥ |
médhaṃ juṣanta váhnayaḥ || 
9 The Viśvedevas, changing shape like serpents, fearless, void of guile, Bearers, accept the sacred draught

yajñáṃ vaṣṭu dhiyā́vasuḥ || 
10 Wealthy in spoil, enriched with hymns, may bright Sarasvatī desire, With eager love, our sacrifice.
