1
ASVINS, for you who strengthen Law this sweetest Soma hath been shed.
Drink this
expressed ere yesterday and give riches to him who offers it.
2
Come, O ye Asvins, mounted on your triple car three-seated, beautiful of form
To you at
sacrifice the Kanvas send the prayer: graciously listen to their call.
3
O Asvins, ye who strengthen Law, drink ye this sweetest Soma juice.
Borne on
your wealth-fraught car come ye this day to him who offers, ye of wondrous
deeds.
4
Omniscient Asvins, on the thrice-heaped grass bedew with the sweet juice the
sacrifice.
The sons of
Kanva, striving heavenward, call on you with draughts of Soma juice out-poured.
5
O Asvins, with those aids wherewith ye guarded Kanva carefully,
Keep us, O
hords of Splendour: drink the Soma juice, ye strengtheners of holy law.
6
O Mighty Ones, ye gave Sudas abundant food, brought on your treasure-laden car;
So now
vouchsafe to us the wealth which many crave, either from heaven or from the
sea.
7
Nasatyas, whether ye be far away or close to Turvasa,
Borne on
your lightly-rolling chariot come to us, together with the sunbeams come.
8
So let your coursers, ornaments of sacrifice, bring you to our libations here.
Bestowing
food on him who acts and gives aright, sit, Chiefs, upon the sacred grass.
9
Come, O Nasatyas, on your car decked with a sunbright canopy,
Whereon ye
ever bring wealth to the worshipper, to drink the Soma's pleasant juice.
10
With lauds and songs of praise we call them down to us, that they, most rich,
may succour us;
For ye have
ever in the Kanvas' well-loved house, O Asvins, drunk the Soma juice.
