With promptest aid they come at morn and evening, the worshippers' most blessed guards from
trouble.
3 Yea, come at milkingtime-, at early morning, at noon of day and when the Sun is setting,
By day, by night, with favour most auspicious. Not only now the draught hath drawn the Asvins.
4 For this place, Asvins, was of old your dwelling, these were your houses, this your habitation.
Come to us from high heaven and from the mountain. Come from the waters bringing food and vigour.

Bring riches hither unto us, and heroes, and all felicity and joy, Immortals!

HYMN LXXVII. Asvins. 77

The Asvins claim the sacrifice at daybreak: the sages yielding the first share extol them.
2 Worship at dawn and instigate the Asvins: nor is the worshipper at eve rejected.
Besides ourselves another craves and worships: each first in worship is most highly favoured.
3 Covered with gold, meathtinted-, dropping fatness, your chariot with its freight of food comes
hither,
Swift as thought, Asvins, rapid as the tempest, wherewith ye travel over all obstructions.
4 He who hath served most often the Nasatyas, and gives the sweetest food at distribution,
Furthers with his own holy works his offspring, and ever passes those whose flames ascend not.

Bring riches hither unto us, and heroes, and all felicity and joy, Immortals!

Fly hither like two swans unto the juice we shed.
3 O Asvins rich in gifts, accept our sacrifice to prosper it:
Fly hither like two swans unto the juice we shed.
4 As Atri when descending to the cavern called on you loudly like a wailing woman.
Ye came to him, O Asvins, with the freshest and most auspicious fleetness of a falcon.
5 Tree, part asunder like the side of her who bringeth forth a child.
Ye Asvins, listen to my call: loose Saptavadhri from his bonds.
6 For Saptavadhri, for the seer affrighted when he wept and wailed,
Ye, Asvins, with your magic powers rent up the tree and shattered it.
7 Like as the wind on every side ruffles a pool of lotuses,
So stir in thee the babe unborn, so may the tenmonth- babe descend.
8 Like as the wind, like as the wood, like as the sea is set astir,
So also, tenmonth- babe, descend together with the afterbirth-.
9 The child who hath for ten months' time been lying in his mothers' side,
May he come forth alive, unharmed, yea, living from the living dame.

Even as thou hast wakened us with Satyasravas, Vayyas' son, highborn-! delightful with thy steeds!

So dawn thou on one mightier still, on Satyasravas, Vayyas' son, highborn-! delightful with thy

As thou, O mightier yet. didst shine for Satyatravas, Vayyas' son, highborn-! delightful with thy
steeds!

And men with gifts, O Bounteous Dame, splendid with wealth and offering much, highborn-!
delightful with thy steeds!

even fain they gird us round and give rich gifts which Never are reft away, highborn-! delightful
with thy steeds!

To these our princes who have brought rich gifts Never to be reft away, highborn! delightful with
thy steeds!

Our wealthy patrons who bestow rich gifts on us of steeds and kine, highborn-! delightful with thy
steeds!

Together with the sunbeams, with the shine of pure refulgent flames, highborn! delightful with thy
steeds!
9 O Daughter of the Sky, shine forth; delay not to perform thy task.
Let not the Sun with fervent heat consume thee like a robber foe, highborn-! delightful with the
steeds!

Thou Radiant One who ceasest not to shine for those who sing thy praise, highborn! delightful with
thy steeds!
