अता॑रिष्म॒ तम॑सस्पा॒रम॒स्य प्रति॒ स्तोमं॑ देव॒यन्तो॒ दधा॑नाः पु॒रु॒दंसा॑ पुरु॒तमा॑ पुरा॒जाम॑र्त्या हवते अ॒श्विना॒ गीः
"WE have o'erpassed the limit of this darkness while, worshipping the Gods, we sang their praises. The song invoketh both Immortal Aṣvins far-reaching, born of old, great WonderWorkers."
न्यु॑ प्रि॒यो मनु॑षः सादि॒ होता॒ नास॑त्या॒ यो यज॑ते॒ वन्द॑ते च अ॒श्नी॒तं मध्वो॑ अश्विना उपा॒क आ वां॑ वोचे वि॒दथे॑षु॒ प्रय॑स्वान्
"And, O Nâsatyas, man's dear Priest is seated, who brings to sacrifice and offers worship, Be near and taste the pleasant juice, O Aṣvins: with food, I call you to the sacrifices."
अहे॑म य॒ज्ञं प॒थामु॑रा॒णा इ॒मां सु॑वृ॒क्तिं वृ॑षणा जुषेथाम् श्रु॒ष्टी॒वेव॒ प्रेषि॑तो वामबोधि॒ प्रति॒ स्तोमै॒र्जर॑माणो॒ वसि॑ष्ठः
"We choosing you, have let our worship follow its course: ye Steers, accept this hymn with favour. Obeying you as your appointed servant, Vasishṭha singing hath with lauds aroused you."
उप॒ त्या वह्नी॑ गमतो॒ विशं॑ नो रक्षो॒हणा॒ सम्भृ॑ता वी॒ळुपा॑णी समन्धां॑स्यग्मत मत्स॒राणि॒ मा नो॑ मर्धिष्ट॒मा ग॑तं शि॒वेन॑
"And these Two Priests come nigh unto our people, united, demon-slayers, mighty-handed. The juices that exhilarate are mingled. Injure us not, but come with happy fortune."
आ प॒श्चाता॑न्नास॒त्या पु॒रस्ता॒दाश्वि॑ना यातमध॒रादुद॑क्तात् आ वि॒श्वतः॒ पाञ्च॑जन्येन रा॒या यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभिः॒ सदा॑ नः
"Come from the west, come from the cast, Nâsatyas, come, Aṣvins, from below and from above us. Bring wealth from all sides for the Fivefold People. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings."
