Rig Veda

Book 8, Hymn LXXIV. Aśvins

1. To this mine invocation, O ye Aśvins, ye Nāsatyas, come,
To drink the savoury Soma juice.

2 This laud of mine, ye Aśvins Twain, and this mine invitation hear,
To drink the savoury Soma juice.

3 Here Kṛṣṇa is invoking you, O Aśvins, Lords of ample wealth.
To drink the savoury Soma juice.

4 List, Heroes, to the singer's call, the call of Kṛṣṇa lauding you,
To drink the savoury Soma juice.

5 Chiefs, to the sage who sings your praise grant an inviolable home,
To drink the savoury Soma juice.

6 Come to the worshipper's abode, Aśvins, who here is lauding you,
To drink the savoury Soma juice.

7 Yoke to the firmly jointed car the ass which draws you, Lords of wealth.
To drink the savoury Soma juice.

8 Come hither, Aśvins, on your car of triple form with triple seat,
To drink the savoury Soma juice.

9 O Aśvins, O Nāsatyas, now accept with favouring grace my songs,
To drink the savoury Soma juice.
