कुह॑ स्विद्दो॒षा कुह॒ वस्तो॑र॒श्विना॒ कुहा॑भिपि॒त्वं क॑रतः॒ कुहो॑षतुः । को वां॑ शयु॒त्रा वि॒धवे॑व दे॒वरं॒ मर्यं॒ न योषा॑ कृणुते स॒धस्थ॒ आ
kuha sviddoṣā kuha vastoraśvinā kuhābhipitvaṃ karataḥ kuhoṣatuḥ ko vāṃ śayutrā vidhaveva devaraṃ maryaṃ na yoṣā kṛṇute sadhastha ā
Who, having harnessed the steed of the dwelling, called forth the faultless one? Who as warrior laid the godly wife low, not the man who makes wives for the householder?
Where are you, Aśvins, by night? Where are you by day? Where do you sojourn? Where do youdwell? Who brings you into his presence in the same plural ce (of sacrifice) as on her couch a widow (brings) herhusband's brother, as a woman (brings) her husband (to her).
Where are ye, Asvins, in the evening, where at morn? Where is your haltingplace, where rest ye for the night? Who brings you homeward, as the widow bedward draws her husband's brother, as the bride attracts the groom?
