Whether ascending the eastern or western course, whether born of men or cows, ye maidens approach their husbands at the low seat. The new-feathered eagle came, O Ashvins, graciously.
Inasmuch as Atri, escaping by your aid from the fire of chaff, conciliates you, like a wife soliciting the affection of a husband, therefore come with (your) propitious cars; with the new-born rapidity of the falcon.
As Atri when descending to the cavem called on you loudly like a wailing woman. Ye came to him, O Asvins, with the freshest and most auspicious fleetness of a falcon.
