Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.34

त्रिश् चिन् नो अद्या भवतं नवेदसा विभुर् वां याम उत रातिर् अश्विना । युवोर् हि यन्त्रं हिम्येव वाससो ऽभ्यायंसेन्या भवतम् मनीषिभिः ॥

triś cin no adyā bhavataṃ navedasā vibhur vāṃ yāma uta rātir aśvinā | yuvor hi yantraṃ himyeva vāsaso 'bhyāyaṃsenyā bhavatam manīṣibhiḥ ||

Ye who observe this day be with us even thrice: far-stretching is you bounty, Asvins and your course. To you, as to a cloak in winter, we cleave close: you are to be drawn nigh unto us by the wise.
