1

Aśvins, for you this sweet Soma has been poured; drink it now, offered yesterday, and grant wealth to the giver.

2

Come, Aśvins, on your three-wheeled chariot, beautiful in form, at the sacrifice the Kaṇvas pray to you.

3

O Aśvins, who uphold Law, drink this Soma; on the car laden with wealth come to him who offers it.

4

Wise Aśvins, sprinkle the sacrifice with the sweet juice on the triple heaped grass. The sons of Kaṇva, striving to reach heaven, call on you with Soma poured out.

5

O Aśvins, with those protections with which you guarded Kaṇva, keep us, Lords of Splendor; drink the Soma, strengtheners of holy Law.

6

O Mighty Ones, you gave Sudās abundant food, brought your treasure-laden car; Now grant us wealth, much desired, from heaven or the sea.

7

Nāsatyas, whether far or near, in Turvaśa, come on your lightly rolling chariot, with the sunbeams.

8

Let your chariots, adorned for sacrifice, bring you to our libations; bestow food on the giver and the giver-rightly.

9

Chiefs, sit on the sacred grass, on your chariot decked with a sunbright canopy, where you always bring wealth to the worshipper.

10

With praises and songs of praise we call you down, rich ones, to help us; for you have always in the Kaṇvas' beloved house drunk the Soma juice.
