Whether you travel afar or dwell in the light of heaven,

Or in a mansion built above the sea, come here, O Aśvins.

2

If you prepared the sacrifice for Manu, remember also Kaṇva’s son. I invoke Bṛhaspati, Indra, Viṣṇu, all the gods, the swift-footed Aśvins.

3

I invoke those Aśvins who perform wonders, brought here to be received, With whom our friendship is most renowned, and kinship surpasses that of the gods.

4

They on whom solemn rites depend, whose worshippers rise before the Sun: These who know the sacred rites of sacrifice and drink the Soma’s sweet.

5

Whether you, Lords of abundant wealth, now linger in the east or west, With Druhyu, Anu, Yadu, Turvaga, I call you here; come to me.

6

Lords of great wealth, whether you soar through the sky or race across heaven and earth, Or stand upon your chariots with your divine forms, come hither, O Aśvins.
