1.46.1

ए॒षो उ॒षा अपू॑र्व्या॒ व्यु॑च्छति प्रि॒या दि॒वः ।
स्तु॒षे वा॑मश्विना बृ॒हत् ॥

Here is Dawn, never before seen, shining forth as the dear one of the sky. O Aśvins, I praise you both greatly.

या द॒स्रा सिन्धु॑मातरा मनो॒तरा॑ रयी॒णाम् ।
धि॒या दे॒वा व॑सु॒विदा॑ ॥

You two wonders, river-mothered, bringers of mind, finders of treasures — O gods, you two obtain wealth through insight.

व॒च्यन्ते॑ वां ककु॒हासो॑ जू॒र्णाया॒मधि॑ वि॒ष्टपि॑ ।
यद्वां॒ रथो॒ विभि॒ष्पता॑त् ॥

O Aśvins, you two are praised in the ancient high place, when your chariot flies with the winds.

ह॒विषा॑ जा॒रो अ॒पां पिप॑र्ति॒ पपु॑रिर्नरा ।
पि॒ता कुट॑स्य चर्ष॒णिः ॥

With oblation, the beloved of the waters, the protector of many; O heroes, father of the pot, active one.

आ॒दा॒रो वां॑ मती॒नां नास॑त्या मतवचसा ।
पा॒तं सोम॑स्य धृष्णु॒या ॥

O Nāsatyas, speakers of thoughtful words, your worshippers praise you; O vigorous ones, drink the soma.

या नः॒ पीप॑रदश्विना॒ ज्योति॑ष्मती॒ तम॑स्ति॒रः ।
ताम॒स्मे रा॑साथा॒मिष॑म् ॥

O Aśvins, grant us that nourishment which is radiant and carries us across darkness.

आ नो॑ ना॒वा म॑ती॒नां या॒तं पा॒राय॒ गन्त॑वे ।
यु॒ञ्जाथा॑मश्विना॒ रथ॑म् ॥

Come to us, O Aśvins, in the boat of our prayers, to go across; yoke your chariot.

अ॒रित्रं॑ वां दि॒वस्पृ॒थु ती॒र्थे सिन्धू॑नां॒ रथः॑ ।
धि॒या यु॑युज्र॒ इन्द॑वः ॥

Wonderful and broad is your chariot of the sky, at the ford of the rivers; with thought the soma drops have yoked it.

दि॒वस्क॑ण्वास॒ इन्द॑वो॒ वसु॒ सिन्धू॑नां प॒दे ।
स्वं व॒व्रिं कुह॑ धित्सथः ॥

O Kaṇvas, O drops of the sky, wealth is in the place of the rivers; where do you seek your own wandering light?

अभू॑दु॒ भा उ॑ अं॒शवे॒ हिर॑ण्यं॒ प्रति॒ सूर्यः॑ ।
व्य॑ख्यज्जि॒ह्वयासि॑तः ॥

The sun became golden light for the ray; bound by the tongue-like ray, he shone forth.

अभू॑दु पा॒रमेत॑वे॒ पन्था॑ ऋ॒तस्य॑ साधु॒या ।
अद॑र्शि॒ वि स्रु॒तिर्दि॒वः ॥

The path of cosmic order became the way to the far shore, well-made; the voice of the sky was clearly seen.

तत्त॒दिद॒श्विनो॒रवो॑ जरि॒ता प्रति॑ भूषति ।
मदे॒ सोम॑स्य॒ पिप्र॑तोः ॥

That very help is of the two Aśvins; the singer adorns it in the joy of the poured-out soma.

वा॒व॒सा॒ना वि॒वस्व॑ति॒ सोम॑स्य पी॒त्या गि॒रा ।
म॒नु॒ष्वच्छ॑म्भू॒ आ ग॑तम् ॥

Both of you, dwelling in Vivasvat's house, come here like Manu, O Aśvins, bringers of welfare, with our praise-speech for the drinking of soma.

यु॒वोरु॒षा अनु॒ श्रियं॒ परि॑ज्मनोरु॒पाच॑रत् ।
ऋ॒ता व॑नथो अ॒क्तुभिः॑ ॥

Behind your two splendors Dawn followed the radiance of you two who circle; by the cosmic order you two also win the nights.

उ॒भा पि॑बतमश्विनो॒भा नः॒ शर्म॑ यच्छतम् ।
अ॒वि॒द्रि॒याभि॑रू॒तिभिः॑ ॥

Both of you drink, O Aśvins; both of you grant us shelter, with unfailing helps.
