yo vāṃ parijmā suvṛdaśvinā ratho doṣāmuṣāso havyo haviṣmatā śaśvattamāsastamu vāmidaṃ vayaṃ piturna nāma suhavaṃ havāmahe
He who encompassed you with splendid steeds, the chariot with faultless reins, the bringer of offerings and appointed to sacrifice—we invoke him as father by name; we call on that deft striker in our ritual.
We from very ancient times invoke, Aśvins, by a name as venerable as that of a father, this yourglorious chariot, which travels all around, which turns, well, and which is to be invoked morning and evening bythe worshipper.
As 'twere the name of father, easy to invoke, we all assembled here invoke this Car of yours, Asvins, your swiftly-rolling circumambient Car which he who worships must invoke at eve and dawn.
