Sanskrit Original
सु॒षु॒प्वांसं॒ न निरृ॑तेरु॒पस्थे॒ सूर्यं॒ न द॑स्रा॒ तम॑सि क्षि॒यन्त॑म् । शु॒भे रु॒क्मं न द॑र्श॒तं निखा॑त॒मुदू॑पथुरश्विना॒ वन्द॑नाय
suṣupvāṃsaṃ na nirṛterupasthe sūryaṃ na dasrā tamasi kṣiyantam śubhe rukmaṃ na darśataṃ nikhātamudūpathuraśvinā vandanāya
May the Ashvins not let the slumbering (one) lie down; may they not leave the sun unseen when darkness decays. They worship the radiant, shining one, the brightened path—hail to the Ashvins for their obeisance.
You extricated, Dasras, the sage (Vandanā) cast into a well, like a handsome and splendid ornament designed for embellishment, and (lying) Aśvins, like one sleepin gon the lap of the earth or like the sun disappearing in darkness.
Ye brought forth Vandana, ye Wonder-Workers, for triumph, like fair gold that hath been buried, Like one who slumbered in destruction's bosom, or like the Sun when dwelling in the darkness.
