5,74 Aśvins 
5.LXXIV Aśvins 
kṹṣṭho devāv aśvinā adyā́ divó manāvasū |
tác chravatho vr̥ṣaṇvasū átrir vām ā́ vivāsati || 
1 WHERE in the heavens are ye to-day, Gods, Aśvins, rich in constancy? Hear this, ye excellent as Steers: Atri inviteth you to come. 
kúha tyā́ kúha nú śrutā́ diví devā́ nā́satiyā |
kásminn ā́ yatatho jáne kó vāṃ nadī́nãṃ sácā || 
2 Where are they now? Where are the Twain, the famed Nāsatyas, Gods in heaven? Who is the man ye strive to reach? Who of your suppliants is with you? 
káṃ yāthaḥ káṃ ha gachathaḥ kám áchā yuñjathe° rátham |
kásya bráhmāṇi raṇyatho vayáṃ vām uśmasīṣṭáye || 
3 Whom do ye visit, whom approach? to whom direct your harnessed car? With whose devotions are ye pleased? We long for you to further us. 
pauráṃ cid dhí udaprútam paúra paurā́ya jínvathaḥ |
yád īṃ gr̥bhītátātaye siṃhám iva druhás padé || 
4 Ye, Strengtheners, for Paura stir the filler swimming in the flood, Advancing to be captured like a lion to the ambuscade. 
prá cyávānāj jujurúṣo vavrím átkaṃ ná muñcathaḥ |
yúvā yádī kr̥tháḥ púnar ā́ kā́mam r̥ṇve vadhúvaḥ || 
5 Ye from cyavana worn with age removed his skin as ’twere a robe. So, when ye made him young again, he stirred the longing of a dame. 
ásti hí vām ihá stotā́ smási vāṃ saṃdŕ̥śi śriyé |
nṹ śrutám ma ā́ gatam ávobhir vājinīvasū || 
6 Here is the man who lauds you both: to see your glory are we here. Now bear me, come with saving help, ye who are rich in store of wealth. 
kó vām adyá purūṇã́m ā́ vavne mártiyānãm |
kó vípro vipravāhasā kó yajñaír vājinīvasū || 
7 Who among many mortal men this day hath won you to himself? What bard, accepters of the bard? Who, rich in wealth! with sacrifice? 
ā́ vāṃ rátho ráthānãṃ yáyiṣṭho+ yātu aśvinā |
purū́ cid asmayús tirá āṅgūṣó mártiyeṣu ā́ || 
8 O Aśvins, may your car approach, most excellent of cars for speed. Through many regions may our praise pass onward among mortal men. 
śám ū ṣú vām madhūyuvā asmā́kam astu carkr̥tíḥ |
arvācīnā́ vicetasā víbhiḥ śyenéva dīyatam || 
9 May our laudation of you Twain, lovers of meath! be sweet to you. Fly hitherward, ye wise of heart, like falcons with your winged steeds. 
áśvinā yád dha kárhi cic chuśrūyā́tam imáṃ hávam |
vásvīr ū ṣú vãm bhújaḥ pr̥ñcánti sú vãm pŕ̥caḥ || 
10 O Aśvins, when at any time ye listen to this call of mine, For you is dainty food prepared: they mix refreshing food for you.
