THE Night retireth from the Dawn her Sister; the Dark one yieldeth to the Red her pathway. Let us invoke you rich in steeds and cattle – by day and night keep far from us the arrow.
7.71.2

yu̱yu̱tam a̱smad ani̍rā̱m amī̍vā̱ṁ divā̱ nakta̍m mādhvī̱ trāsī̍thāṁ naḥ ||
Bearing rich treasure in your car, O Aṣvins, come to the mortal who presents oblation. Keep at a distance penury and sickness; Lovers of Sweetness, day and night preserve us.
7.71.3

May your strong horses, seeking bliss, bring hither your chariot at the earliest flush of morning. With coursers yoked by Law drive hither, Aṣvins, your car whose reins are light, laden with treasure.
7.71.4

The chariot, Princes, that conveys you, moving at daylight, triple-seated, fraught with riches, Even with this come unto us, Nâsatyas, that laden with all food it may approach us.
7.71.5
yu̱vaṁ cyavā̍naṁ ja̱raso̍ 'mumukta̱ṁ ni pe̱dava̍ ūhathur ā̱śum aśva̍m |

Ye freed Chyavâna from old age and weakness: ye brought the courser fleet of food to Pedu. Ye rescued Atri from distress and darkness, and loosed for Jâhusha the bonds that bound him.
7.71.6
i̱yam ma̍nī̱ṣā i̱yam a̍śvinā̱ gīr i̱māṁ su̍vṛ̱ktiṁ vṛ̍ṣaṇā juṣethām |

This is the thought, this is the song, O Aṣvins: accept this hymn of ours, ye Steers, With favour. May these our prayers addressed to you come nigh you. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
