प्रा॒तर्य॑जध्वम॒श्विना॑ हिनोत॒ न सा॒यम॑स्ति देव॒या अजु॑ष्टम् । उ॒तान्यो अ॒स्मद्य॑जते॒ वि चावः॒ पूर्वः॑पूर्वो॒ यज॑मानो॒ वनी॑यान्
prātaryajadhvamaśvinā hinota na sāyamasti devayā ajuṣṭam utānyo asmadyajate vi cāvaḥ pūrvaḥpūrvo yajamāno vanīyān
In the morning you perform sacrifice, Ashvins; not the evening alone is for the god. They rose, they offered from me; the worshipper went to the forest before dawn.
WOrship the Aśvins at early dawn; offer their oblations; the evening is not for the gods; it is unacceptable to them; and whether it be any other than ourselves who worship them or propitiates them, the worshipper who is foremost (in his devotion) is the most approved of.
Worship at dawn and instigate the Asvins:nor is the worshipper at eve rejected. Besides ourselves another craves and worships: each first in worship is most highly favoured.
