Hymn 10 · Aśvins

1WHETHER ye travel far away or dwell in yonder light of heaven,     Or in a mansion that is built above the sea, come thence, ye Aśvins, hitherward.

2Or if for Manu.ye prepared the sacrifice, remember also Kaṇva's son.     I call Bṛhaspati, Indra, Viṣṇu, all the gods, the Aśvins borne by rapid steeds.

3Those Aśvins I invoke who work marvels, brought hither to receive,     With whom our friendship is most famed, and kinship passing that of Gods.

4On whom the solemn rites depend, whose worshippers rise without the Sun:     These who foreknow the holy work of sacrifice, and by their Godhead drink the sweets of Soma juice.

5Whether ye, Lords of ample wealth, now linger in the cast or west,     With Druhyu, or with Anu, Yadu, Turvaga, I call you hither; come to me.

6Lords of great riches, whether through the firmament ye fly or speed through heaven and earth,     Or with your Godlike natures stand upon your cars, come thence, O Aśvins, hitherward.
