When the Ashvins yoked the bull-like chariot with ghee and honey, they released the dominion. They won over our strength among resolute men; we shall worship the wealthy, heroic elders.
When, Aśvins, you harness your bounty-shedding chariot, refresh our strength with trickling honey; bestow (abundant) food upon our people; may we acquire riches in the strife of heroes.
When, Asvins, ye equip your very mighty car, bedew, ye Twain, our power with honey and with oil. To our devotion give victorious strength in war: may we win riches in the heroes' strife for spoil.
