Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.182

अभूद् इदं वयुनम् ओ षु भूषता रथो वृषण्वान् मदता मनीषिणः । धियञ्जिन्वा धिष्ण्या विश्पलावसू दिवो नपाता सुकृते शुचिव्रता ॥

abhūd idaṃ vayunam o ṣu bhūṣatā ratho vṛṣaṇvān madatā manīṣiṇaḥ | dhiyañjinvā dhiṣṇyā viśpalāvasū divo napātā sukṛte śucivratā ||

This was the task. Appear promptly, ye prudent Ones. Here is the chariot drawn by strong steeds: be ye glad. Heart-stirring, longed for, succourers of Vispala, here are Heaven's Sons whose sway blesses the pious man.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

इन्द्रतमा हि धिष्ण्या मरुत्तमा दस्रा दंसिष्ठा रथ्या रथीतमा । पूर्णं रथं वहेथे मध्व आचितं तेन दाश्वांसम् उप याथो अश्विना ॥

indratamā hi dhiṣṇyā maruttamā dasrā daṃsiṣṭhā rathyā rathītamā | pūrṇaṃ rathaṃ vahethe madhva ācitaṃ tena dāśvāṃsam upa yātho aśvinā ||

Longed for, most Indra-like, mighty, most Marut-like, most wonderful in deed, car-borne, best charioteers, Bring your full chariot hither heaped with liquid sweet: thereon, ye Asvins, come to him who offers gifts.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

किम् अत्र दस्रा कृणुथः किम् आसाथे जनो यः कश् चिद् अहविर् महीयते । अति क्रमिष्टं जुरतम् पणेर् असुं ज्योतिर् विप्राय कृणुतं वचस्यवे ॥

kim atra dasrā kṛṇuthaḥ kim āsāthe jano yaḥ kaś cid ahavir mahīyate | ati kramiṣṭaṃ juratam paṇer asuṃ jyotir viprāya kṛṇutaṃ vacasyave ||

What make ye there, ye Mighty? Wherefore linger ye with folk who, offering not, are held in high esteem? Pass over them; make ye the niggard's life decay: give light unto the singer eloquent in praise.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

जम्भयतम् अभितो रायतः शुनो हतम् मृधो विदथुस् तान्य् अश्विना । वाचं-वाचं जरितू रत्निनीं कृतम् उभा शंसं नासत्यावतम् मम ॥

jambhayatam abhito rāyataḥ śuno hatam mṛdho vidathus tāny aśvinā | vācaṃ-vācaṃ jaritū ratninīṃ kṛtam ubhā śaṃsaṃ nāsatyāvatam mama ||

Crunch up on. every side the dogs who bark at us: slay ye our foes, O Asvins this ye understand. Make wealthy every word of him who praises you: accept with favour, both Nasatyas, this my laud.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

युवम् एतं चक्रथुः सिन्धुषु प्लवम् आत्मन्वन्तम् पक्षिणं तौग्र्याय कम् । येन देवत्रा मनसा निरूहथुः सुपप्तनी पेतथुः क्षोदसो महः ॥

yuvam etaṃ cakrathuḥ sindhuṣu plavam ātmanvantam pakṣiṇaṃ taugryāya kam | yena devatrā manasā nirūhathuḥ supaptanī petathuḥ kṣodaso mahaḥ ||

Ye made for Tugra's son amid the water-floods that animated ship with wings to fly withal, Whereon with God-devoted mind ye brought him forth, and fled with easy flight from out the mighty surge.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अवविद्धं तौग्र्यम् अप्स्व् अन्तर् अनारम्भणे तमसि प्रविद्धम् । चतस्रो नावो जठलस्य जुष्टा उद् अश्विभ्याम् इषिताः पारयन्ति ॥

avaviddhaṃ taugryam apsv antar anārambhaṇe tamasi praviddham | catasro nāvo jaṭhalasya juṣṭā ud aśvibhyām iṣitāḥ pārayanti ||

Four ships most welcome in the midst of ocean, urged by the Asvins, save the son of Tugra, Him who was cast down headlong in the waters, plunged in the thick inevitable darkness.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

कः स्विद् वृक्षो निष्ठितो मध्ये अर्णसो यं तौग्र्यो नाधितः पर्यषस्वजत् । पर्णा मृगस्य पतरोर् इवारभ उद् अश्विना ऊहथुः श्रोमताय कम् ॥

kaḥ svid vṛkṣo niṣṭhito madhye arṇaso yaṃ taugryo nādhitaḥ paryaṣasvajat | parṇā mṛgasya pataror ivārabha ud aśvinā ūhathuḥ śromatāya kam ||

What tree was that which stood fixed in surrounding sea to which the son of Tugra supplicating clung? Like twigs, of which some winged creature may take hold, ye, Asvins, bore him off safely to your renown.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

तद् वां नरा नासत्याव् अनु ष्याद् यद् वाम् मानास उचथम् अवोचन् । अस्माद् अद्य सदसः सोम्याद् आ विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम् ॥

tad vāṃ narā nāsatyāv anu ṣyād yad vām mānāsa ucatham avocan | asmād adya sadasaḥ somyād ā vidyāmeṣaṃ vṛjanaṃ jīradānum ||

Welcome to you be this the hymn of praises uttered by Manas, O Nasatyas, Heroes, From this our gathering where we offer Soma. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
