RIGVEDA - BOOK 8- HYMN X. Aśvins.
1. WHETHER ye travel far away or dwell in yonder light of heaven, Or in a mansion that is built above the sea, come thence, ye Aśvins, hitherward. 2 Or if for Manu.ye prepared the sacrifice, remember also Kaṇva's son. I call Bṛhaspati, Indra, Viṣṇu, all the gods, the Aśvins borne by rapid steeds. 3 Those Aśvins I invoke who work marvels, brought hither to receive, With whom our friendship is most famed, and kinship passing that of Gods. 4 On whom the solemn rites depend, whose worshippers rise without the Sun: These who foreknow the holy work of sacrifice, and by their Godhead drink the sweets of Soma juice. 5 Whether ye, Lords of ample wealth, now linger in the cast or west, With Druhyu, or with Anu, Yadu, Turvaga, I call you hither; come to me. 6 Lords of great riches, whether through the firmament ye fly or speed through heaven and earth, Or with your Godlike natures stand upon your cars, come thence, O Aśvins, hitherward.
Bibliography: Rigveda, translated by Ralph Thomas Hotchkin Griffith, (1896)
