Rigveda 3.58

THE Ancient's Milch-cow yields the things we long for: the Son of Dakshina travels between them. She with the splendid chariot brings refulgence. The praise of Ushas hath awoke the Aṣvins.

They bear you hither by well-orderd statute: our sacred offerings rise as if to parents. Destroy in us the counsel of the niggard come hitherward, for we have shown you favour.

With lightly-rolling car and well-yoked horses hear this, the press-stone's song, ye Wonder- Workers. Have not the sages of old time, ye Aṣvins, called you most prompt to come and stay misfortune?

Remember us, and come to us, for ever men, as their wont is, invocate the Aṣvins. Friends as it were have offered you these juices, sweet, blent with milk at the first break of morning.

Even through many regions, O ye Aṣvins high praise is yours among mankind, ye Mighty- Come, helpers, on the paths which Gods have travelled: here your libations of sweet meath are ready.

Ancient your home, auspicious is your friendship: Heroes, your wealth is with the house of Jahnu. Forming again with you auspicious friendship, let us rejoice with draughts of meath together.

O Aṣvins, Very Mighty ones, with Vâyu and with his steeds, one-minded, ever-youthful, Nâsatyas, joying in the third day's Soma, drink it, not hostile, Very Bounteous Givers.

Aṣvins, to you are brought abundant viands in rivalry with sacred songs, unceasing. Sprung from high Law your car, urged on by press-stones, goes round the earth and heaven in one brief moment.

Aṣvins, your Soma sheds delicious sweetness: drink ye thereof and come unto our dwelling. Your car, assuming many a shape, most often goes to the Soma-presser's place of meeting.
