1

Agni, the radiant face of the Dawn, shines brightly; the singers' pious voices ascend. Borne in your chariot, Aśvins, turn towards us and join our rich libation.

2

You frequent guests, you do not disdain what is ready; the praised Aśvins are here now, our most blessed protectors from trouble.

3

Come at milking time, at dawn, at midday, and when the Sun sets, By day and night, with the most auspicious favor. The Aśvins are not just drawing near now.

4

This place, Aśvins, was once your home, these were your homes, this your dwelling. Come from high heaven and from the mountain. Bring wealth, heroes, all happiness and joy, Immortals!

5

May we receive the Aśvins' newest favor, and their healthy guiding light. Bring riches here, and all glory, and all felicity and joy, Immortals!
