Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 THESE morning sacrifices call you, Aśvins, at the break of day. For help have I invoked you rich in power and might: for, house by house ye visit all.

yuváṃ citráṃ dadathur bhójanaṃ narā códethāṃ sūnŕ̥tāvate |
arvā́g ráthaṃ sámanasā ní yachatam píbataṃ somiyám mádhu ||

2 O Heroes, ye bestow wonderful nourishment. send it to him whose songs are sweet Accordant, both of you, drive your car down to us, and drink the savoury Soma juice.

ā́ yātam úpa bhūṣatam mádhvaḥ pibatam aśvinā |
dugdhám páyo vr̥ṣaṇā jeniyāvasū mā́ no mardhiṣṭam ā́ gatam ||

3 Approach ye and be near to us. drink, O ye Aśvins, of the meath. Draw forth the milk, ye Mighty, rich in genuine wealth: injure us not, and come to us.

áśvāso yé vām úpa dāśúṣo gr̥háṃ yuvā́ṃ dī́yanti bíbhrataḥ |
makṣūyúbhir narā háyebhir aśvinā ā́ devā yātam asmayū́ ||

4 The horses that convey you in their rapid flight down to the worshipper's abode, With these your speedy coursers, Heroes, Aśvins, come, ye Gods, come well-inclined to us.

ádhā ha yánto aśvínā pŕ̥kṣaḥ sacanta sūráyaḥ |
tā́ yaṃsato maghávadbhyo dhruváṃ yáśaś chardír asmábhyaṃ nā́satyā ||

5 Yea, verily, our princes seek the Aśvins in pursuit of food. These shall give lasting glory to our liberal lords, and, both Nāsatyas, shelter us.

prá yé yayúr avr̥kā́so ráthā iva nr̥pātā́ro jánānãm |
utá svéna śávasā śūśuvur nára utá kṣiyanti sukṣitím ||

6 Those who have led the way, like cars, offending none, those who are guardians of the men-Also through their own might the heroes have grown strong, and dwell in safe and happy homes.
