Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.180
युवो रजांसि सुयमासो अश्वा रथो यद् वाम् पर्य् अर्णांसि दीयत् । हिरण्यया वाम् पवयः प्रुषायन् मध्वः पिबन्ता उषसः सचेथे ॥
yuvo rajāṃsi suyamāso aśvā ratho yad vām pary arṇāṃsi dīyat | hiraṇyayā vām pavayaḥ pruṣāyan madhvaḥ pibantā uṣasaḥ sacethe ||
Lightly your coursers travel through the regions when round the sea of air your car is flying. Your golden fellies scatter drops of moisture: drinking the sweetness ye attend the Mornings.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवम् अत्यस्याव नक्षथो यद् विपत्मनो नर्यस्य प्रयज्योः । स्वसा यद् वां विश्वगूर्ती भराति वाजायेट्टे मधुपाव् इषे च ॥
yuvam atyasyāva nakṣatho yad vipatmano naryasya prayajyoḥ | svasā yad vāṃ viśvagūrtī bharāti vājāyeṭṭe madhupāv iṣe ca ||
Ye as ye travel overtake the Courser who flies apart, the Friend of man, most holy. The prayer is that the Sister may convey you, all praised, meath-drinkers! to support and strengthen.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवम् पय उस्रियायाम् अधत्तम् पक्वम् आमायाम् अव पूर्व्यं गोः । अन्तर् यद् वनिनो वाम् ऋतप्सू ह्वारो न शुचिर् यजते हविष्मान् ॥
yuvam paya usriyāyām adhattam pakvam āmāyām ava pūrvyaṃ goḥ | antar yad vanino vām ṛtapsū hvāro na śucir yajate haviṣmān ||
Ye have deposited, matured within her, in the raw cow the first milk of the milch-cow, Which the bright offerer, shining like a serpent mid trees, presents to you whose form is perfect.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवं ह घर्मम् मधुमन्तम् अत्रये ऽपो न क्षोदो ऽवृणीतम् एषे । तद् वां नराव् अश्विना पश्वैष्टी रथ्येव चक्रा प्रति यन्ति मध्वः ॥
yuvaṃ ha gharmam madhumantam atraye 'po na kṣodo 'vṛṇītam eṣe | tad vāṃ narāv aśvinā paśvaiṣṭī rathyeva cakrā prati yanti madhvaḥ ||
Ye made the fierce heat to be full of sweetness for Atri at his wish, like streaming water. Fire-offering thence is yours, O Asvins, Heroes: your car-wheels speed to us like springs of honey.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ वां दानाय ववृतीय दस्रा गोर् ओहेण तौग्र्यो न जिव्रिः । अपः क्षोणी सचते माहिना वां जूर्णो वाम् अक्षुर् अंहसो यजत्रा ॥
ā vāṃ dānāya vavṛtīya dasrā gor oheṇa taugryo na jivriḥ | apaḥ kṣoṇī sacate māhinā vāṃ jūrṇo vām akṣur aṃhaso yajatrā ||
Like Tugra's ancient son may I, ye Mighty, bring you to give your gifts with milk-oblations. Your greatness compasseth Earth, Heaven, and Waters: decayed for you is sorrow's net, ye Holy.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नि यद् युवेथे नियुतः सुदानू उप स्वधाभिः सृजथः पुरन्धिम् । प्रेषद् वेषद् वातो न सूरिर् आ महे ददे सुव्रतो न वाजम् ॥
ni yad yuvethe niyutaḥ sudānū upa svadhābhiḥ sṛjathaḥ purandhim | preṣad veṣad vāto na sūrir ā mahe dade suvrato na vājam ||
When, Bounteous Ones, ye drive your yoked team downward, ye send, by your own natures, understanding. Swift as the wind let the prince please and feast you: he, like a pious man, gains strength for increase.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वयं चिद् धि वां जरितारः सत्या विपन्यामहे वि पणिर् हितावान् । अधा चिद् धि ष्माश्विनाव् अनिन्द्या पाथो हि ष्मा वृषणाव् अन्तिदेवम् ॥
vayaṃ cid dhi vāṃ jaritāraḥ satyā vipanyāmahe vi paṇir hitāvān | adhā cid dhi ṣmāśvināv anindyā pātho hi ṣmā vṛṣaṇāv antidevam ||
For verily we truthful singers praise you the niggard trafficker is here excluded. Now, even now do ye O blameless Asvins, ye Mighty, guard the man whose God is near him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवां चिद् धि ष्माश्विनाव् अनु द्यून् विरुद्रस्य प्रस्रवणस्य सातौ । अगस्त्यो नरां नृषु प्रशस्तः काराधुनीव चितयत् सहस्रैः ॥

You of a truth day after day, O Asvins, that he might win the very plenteous torrent, Agastya, famous among mortal heroes, roused with a thousand lauds like sounds of music.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

taṃ vāṃ rathaṃ vayam adyā huvema stomair aśvinā suvitāya navyam | ariṣṭanemim pari dyām iyānaṃ vidyāmeṣaṃ vṛjanaṃ jīradānum ||
With songs of praise we call to-day, O Asvins, that your new chariot, for our own well-being, That circles heaven with never-injured fellies. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
