5,78 Aśvins 
5.LXXVIII Aśvins 
áśvināv éhá gachataṃ nā́satyā mā́ ví venatam |
haṃsā́v iva patatam ā́ sutā́m̐ úpa || 
1 YE Aśvins, hither come to us: Nāsatyas, be not disinclined. Fly hither like two swans unto the juice we shed. 
áśvinā hariṇā́v iva gaurā́v ivā́nu yávasam |
haṃsā́v iva patatam ā́ sutā́m̐ úpa || 
2 O Aśvins, like a pair of deer, like two wild cattle to the mead: Fly hither like two swans unto the juice we shed. 
áśvinā vājinīvasū juṣéthāṃ yajñám iṣṭáye |
haṃsā́v iva patatam ā́ sutā́m̐ úpa || 
3 O Aśvins rich in gifts, accept our sacrifice to prosper it: Fly hither like two swans unto the juice we shed. 
átrir yád vām avaróhann r̥bī́sam ájohavīn nā́dhamāneva yóṣā |
śyenásya cij jávasā nū́tanena ágachatam aśvinā śáṃtamena || 
4 As Atri when descending to the cavern called on you loudly like a wailing woman. Ye came to him, O Aśvins, with the freshest and most auspicious fleetness of a falcon. 
ví jihīṣva vanaspate yóniḥ sū́ṣyantiyā iva |
śrutám me aśvinā hávaṃ saptávadhriṃ ca muñcatam || 
5 Tree, part asunder like the side of her who bringeth forth a child. Ye Aśvins, listen to my call: loose Saptavadhri from his bonds. 
bhītā́ya nā́dhamānāya ŕ̥ṣaye saptávadhraye |
māyā́bhir aśvinā yuváṃ vr̥kṣáṃ sáṃ ca ví cācathaḥ || 
6 For Saptavadhri, for the seer affrighted when he wept and wailed, Ye, Aśvins, with your magic powers rent up the tree and shattered it. 
yáthā vā́taḥ puṣkaríṇīṃ samiṅgáyati sarvátaḥ |
evā́ te gárbha ejatu niraítu dáśamāsiyaḥ || 
7 Like as the wind on every side ruffles a pool of lotuses, So stir in thee the babe unborn, so may the ten-month babe descend. 
yáthā vā́to yáthā vánaṃ yáthā samudrá éjati |
evā́ tváṃ daśamāsiya sahā́vehi jarā́yuṇā || 
8 Like as the wind, like as the wood, like as the sea is set astir, So also, ten-month babe, descend together with the after-birth. 
dáśa mā́sāñ chaśayānáḥ kumāró ádhi mātári |
niraítu jīvó ákṣato jīvó jī́vantiyā ádhi || 
9 The child who hath for ten months' time been lying in his mother's side, —May he come forth alive, unharmed, yea, living from the living dame.
