Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.118
आ वां रथो अश्विना श्येनपत्वा सुमृळीकः स्ववां यात्व् अर्वाङ् । यो मर्त्यस्य मनसो जवीयान् त्रिवन्धुरो वृषणा वातरंहाः ॥
ā vāṃ ratho aśvinā śyenapatvā sumṛḷīkaḥ svavāṃ yātv arvāṅ | yo martyasya manaso javīyān trivandhuro vṛṣaṇā vātaraṃhāḥ ||
Flying, with falcons, may your chariot, Asvins, most gracious, bringing friendly help, come hither,-- Your chariot, swifter than the mind of mortal, fleet as the wind, three-seated O ye Mighty.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्रिवन्धुरेण त्रिवृता रथेन त्रिचक्रेण सुवृता यातम् अर्वाक् । पिन्वतं गा जिन्वतम् अर्वतो नो वर्धयतम् अश्विना वीरम् अस्मे ॥
trivandhureṇa trivṛtā rathena tricakreṇa suvṛtā yātam arvāk | pinvataṃ gā jinvatam arvato no vardhayatam aśvinā vīram asme ||
Come to us with your chariot triple seated, three-wheeled, of triple form, that rolleth lightly. Fill full our cows, give mettle to our horses, and make each hero son grow strong, O Asvins.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्रवद्यामना सुवृता रथेन दस्राव् इमं शृणुतं श्लोकम् अद्रेः । किम् अङ्ग वाम् प्रत्य् अवर्तिं गमिष्ठाहुर् विप्रासो अश्विना पुराजाः ॥
pravadyāmanā suvṛtā rathena dasrāv imaṃ śṛṇutaṃ ślokam adreḥ | kim aṅga vām praty avartiṃ gamiṣṭhāhur viprāso aśvinā purājāḥ ||
With your well-rolling car, descending swiftly, hear this the press-stone's song, ye Wonder-Workers. How then have ancient sages said, O Asvins, that ye most swiftly come to stay affliction?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ वां श्येनासो अश्विना वहन्तु रथे युक्तास आशवः पतङ्गाः । ये अप्तुरो दिव्यासो न गृध्रा अभि प्रयो नासत्या वहन्ति ॥
ā vāṃ śyenāso aśvinā vahantu rathe yuktāsa āśavaḥ pataṅgāḥ | ye apturo divyāso na gṛdhrā abhi prayo nāsatyā vahanti ||
O Asvins, let your falcons bear you hither, yoked to your chariot, swift, with flying pinions, Which, ever active, like the airy eagles, carry you, O Nasatyas, to the banquet.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ वां रथं युवतिस् तिष्ठद् अत्र जुष्ट्वी नरा दुहिता सूर्यस्य । परि वाम् अश्वा वपुषः पतङ्गा वयो वहन्त्व् अरुषा अभीके ॥
ā vāṃ rathaṃ yuvatis tiṣṭhad atra juṣṭvī narā duhitā sūryasya | pari vām aśvā vapuṣaḥ pataṅgā vayo vahantv aruṣā abhīke ||
The youthful Daughter of the Sun, delighting in you, ascended there your chariot, Heroes. Borne on their swift wings let your beauteous horses, your birds of ruddy hue, convey you near us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उद् वन्दनम् ऐरतं दंसनाभिर् उद् रेभं दस्रा वृषणा शचीभिः । निष् टौग्र्यम् पारयथः समुद्रात् पुनश् च्यवानं चक्रथुर् युवानम् ॥
ud vandanam airataṃ daṃsanābhir ud rebhaṃ dasrā vṛṣaṇā śacībhiḥ | niṣ ṭaugryam pārayathaḥ samudrāt punaś cyavānaṃ cakrathur yuvānam ||
Ye raised up Vandana, strong Wonder-Workers! with great might, and with power ye rescued Rebha. From out the sea ye saved the son of Tugra, and gave his youth again unto Cyavana.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवम् अत्रये ऽवनीताय तप्तम् ऊर्जम् ओमानम् अश्विनाव् अधत्तम् । युवं कण्वायापिरिप्ताय चक्षुः प्रत्य् अधत्तं सुष्टुतिं जुजुषाणा ॥
yuvam atraye 'vanītāya taptam ūrjam omānam aśvināv adhattam | yuvaṃ kaṇvāyāpiriptāya cakṣuḥ praty adhattaṃ suṣṭutiṃ jujuṣāṇā ||
To Atri, cast down to the fire that scorched him, ye gave, O Asvins, strengthening food and favour. Accepting his fair praises with approval, ye gave his eyes again to blinded Kanva.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवं धेनुं शयवे नाधितायापिन्वतम् अश्विना पूर्व्याय । अमुञ्चतं वर्तिकाम् अंहसो निः प्रति जङ्घां विश्पलाया अधत्तम् ॥
yuvaṃ dhenuṃ śayave nādhitāyāpinvatam aśvinā pūrvyāya | amuñcataṃ vartikām aṃhaso niḥ prati jaṅghāṃ viśpalāyā adhattam ||
For ancient Sayu in his sore affliction ye caused his cow to swell with milk, O Asvins. The quail from her great misery ye delivered, and a new leg for Vispala provided.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवं श्वेतम् पेदव इन्द्रजूतम् अहिहनम् अश्विनादत्तम् अश्वम् । जोहूत्रम् अर्यो अभिभूतिम् उग्रं सहस्रसां वृषणं वीड्वङ्गम् ॥
yuvaṃ śvetam pedava indrajūtam ahihanam aśvinādattam aśvam | johūtram aryo abhibhūtim ugraṃ sahasrasāṃ vṛṣaṇaṃ vīḍvaṅgam ||
A white horse, Asvins, ye bestowed on Pedu, a serpent-slaying steed sent down by Indra, Loud-neighing, conquering the foe, high-mettled, firm-limbed and vigorous, winning thousand treasures.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ता वां नरा स्व् अवसे सुजाता हवामहे अश्विना नाधमानाः । आ न उप वसुमता रथेन गिरो जुषाणा सुविताय यातम् ॥
tā vāṃ narā sv avase sujātā havāmahe aśvinā nādhamānāḥ | ā na upa vasumatā rathena giro juṣāṇā suvitāya yātam ||
Such as ye are, O nobly born, O Heroes, we in our trouble call on you for succour. Accepting these our songs, for our wellbeing come to us on your chariot treasure-laden.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ श्येनस्य जवसा नूतनेनास्मे यातं नासत्या सजोषाः । हवे हि वाम् अश्विना रातहव्यः शश्वत्तमाया उषसो व्युष्टौ ॥
ā śyenasya javasā nūtanenāsme yātaṃ nāsatyā sajoṣāḥ | have hi vām aśvinā rātahavyaḥ śaśvattamāyā uṣaso vyuṣṭau ||
Come unto us combined in love, Nasatyas come with the fresh swift vigour of the falcon. Bearing oblations I invoke you, Asvins, at the first break of everlasting morning.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
