Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 WE have o’erpassed the limit of this darkness while, worshipping the Gods, we sang their praises. The song invoketh both Immortal Aśvins far-reaching, born of old, great Wonder Workers.

ní u priyó mánuṣaḥ sādi hótā nā́satyā yó yájate vándate ca |
aśnītám mádhvo aśvinā upāká ā́ vāṃ voce vidátheṣu práyasvān ||

2 And, O Nāsatyas, man's dear Priest is seated, who brings to sacrifice and offers worship, Be near and taste the pleasant juice, O Aśvins: with food, I call you to the sacrifices.

áhema yajñám pathã́m urāṇā́ imā́ṃ suvr̥ktíṃ vr̥ṣaṇā juṣethām |
śruṣṭīvéva préṣito vām abodhi práti stómair járamāṇo vásiṣṭhaḥ ||

3 We choosing you, have let our worship follow its course: ye Steers, accept this hymn with favour. Obeying you as your appointed servant, Vasiṣṭha singing hath with lauds aroused you.

úpa tyā́ váhnī gamato víśaṃ no rakṣoháṇā sámbhr̥tā vīḷúpāṇī |
sám ándhāṃsi agmata matsarā́ṇi mā́ no mardhiṣṭam ā́ gataṃ śivéna ||

4 And these Two Priests come nigh unto our people, united, demon-slayers, mighty-handed. The juices that exhilarate are mingled. Injure us not, but come with happy fortune.

ā́ paścā́tān nāsatiyā́ purástād ā́śvinā yātam adharā́d údaktāt |
ā́ viśvátaḥ pā́ñcajanyena rāyā́ yūyám pāta suastíbhiḥ sádā naḥ ||

5 Come from the west, come from the cast, Nāsatyas, come, Aśvins, from below and from above us. Bring wealth from all sides for the Fivefold People. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
