ā vāṃ ratho aśvinā śyenapatvā sumṛḷīkaḥ svavām̐ yātvarvāṅ yo martyasya manaso javīyāntrivandhuro vṛṣaṇā vātaraṃhāḥ
O Ashvins, bring for us the chariot whereon the swift pair mount like eagles; let it carry our voice. May it win the heart of man; the bulls have borne threefold vigour and reached the airy realms.
May your elegant and rich car, swift as a hawk, come, Aśvins, to our presence, fo rit as quick as the mind of man, surmounted, showerers (of benefits) by three columns, and rapid as the wind.
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.
