1. RICH in all
blessings, Asvins come ye hither: this place on earth is called your own
possession,
Like a strong horse with a fair
back it standeth, whereon, as in a lap, ye seat you firmly.
2 This most
delightful eulogy awaits you in the man's house drink-offering hath been
heated,
Which bringeth you over the
seas and rivers, yoking as'twere two well-matched shining horses.
3 Whatever
dwellings ye possess, O Asvins, in fields of men or in the streams of heaven,
Resting upon the summit of the
mountain, or bringing food to him who gives oblation,
4 Delight
yourselves, ye Gods, in plants and waters when Rsis give them and ye find they
suit You.
Enriching us with treasures in
abundance ye have looked back to former generations.
5 Asvins,
though ye have heard them oft aforetime, regard the many prayers which Rsis
offer.
Come to the man even as his
heart desireth: may we enjoy your most delightful favour.
6 Come to the
sacrifice offered you, Nasatyas, with men, oblations, and prayer duly uttered.
Come to Vasistha as his heart
desireth, for unto you these holy hymns are chanted.
7 This is the
thought, this is the song, O Asvins: accept this hymn of ours, ye Steers, with
favour.
May these our prayers addressed
to you come nigh you. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
