Rig Veda
This verse is not included in this edition.
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.
siṣakti sā vāṃ sumatiś caniṣṭhātāpi gharmo manuṣo duroṇe yo vāṃ samudrān saritaḥ piparty etagvā cin na suyujā yujānaḥ
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.
yāni sthānāny aśvinā dadhāthe divo yahvīṣv oṣadhīṣu vikṣu ni parvatasya mūrdhani sadanteṣaṃ janāya dāśuṣe vahantā
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,
caniṣṭaṃ devā oṣadhīṣv apsu yad yogyā aśnavaithe ṛṣīṇām purūṇi ratnā dadhatau ny asme anu pūrvāṇi cakhyathur yugāni
Delight yourselves, ye Gods, in plants and waters when Rishis give them and ye find they suit You. Enriching us with treasures in abundance ye have looked back to former generations.
śuśruvāṃsā cid aśvinā purūṇy abhi brahmāṇi cakṣāthe ṛṣīṇām prati pra yātaṃ varam ā janāyāsme vām astu sumatiś caniṣṭhā
Asvins, though ye have heard them oft aforetime, regard the many prayers which Rishis offer. Come to the man even as his heart desireth: may we enjoy your most delightful favour.
yo vāṃ yajño nāsatyā haviṣmān kṛtabrahmā samaryo bhavāti upa pra yātaṃ varam ā vasiṣṭham imā brahmāṇy ṛcyante yuvabhyām
Come to the sacrifice offered you, Nasatyas, with men, oblations, and prayer duly uttered. Come to Vasishtha as his heart desireth, for unto you these holy hymns are chanted.
iyam manīṣā iyam aśvinā gīr imāṃ suvṛktiṃ vṛṣaṇā juṣethām imā brahmāṇi yuvayūny agman yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
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.
