This pleased him. He said: 'Those two are indeed the Aśvins, ladle-offerers, practicing medicine and excluded from Soma, who roam through this [world]. Coming tomorrow, they will surely say this very same thing to you. You should say to them: "You two are indeed incomplete, who, being gods, are non-drinkers of Soma. Complete indeed is my husband, who drinks Soma." They will certainly say to you: "Who has the power to bring it about that we two may share in Soma?" You must say: "This husband of mine." By this too there is hope of my being young again.' On the morrow, having arrived, they said this very thing to her. She said: 'You two are indeed incomplete, who, being gods, are non-drinkers of Soma. Complete indeed is my husband, who drinks Soma.' They said: 'Who has the power to bring it about that we two may share in Soma?' 'This husband of mine,' she said.
