आ वां॒ रथं॑ पुरुमा॒यं म॑नो॒जुवं॑ जी॒राश्वं॑ य॒ज्ञियं॑ जी॒वसे॑ हुवे |
स॒हस्र॑केतुं व॒निनं॑ श॒तद्व॑सुं श्रुष्टी॒वानं॑ वरिवो॒धाम॒भि प्रय॑: ||
HITHER, that I may live, I call unto the feast your wondrous car, thought-swift, borne on by rapid steeds. With thousand banners, hundred treasures, pouring gifts, promptly obedient, bestowing ample room.
Hither, that I may live, I call your wondrous thought-swift car borne by rapid steeds—with thousand banners, hundred treasures, gift-pouring, obedient, granting ample room.
Jivana-hetu avahana of Ashvin ratha: sahasra-dhvaja, shata-vasu, obedient grace that expands space (uru)—divine mobility as life-support.
Ask for help that expands capacity, not just patches symptoms. Seek support that creates ample room to live and grow.
1.119.2
ऊ॒र्ध्वा धी॒तिः प्रत्य॑स्य॒ प्रया॑म॒न्यधा॑यि॒ शस्म॒न्त्सम॑यन्त॒ आ दिश॑: |
स्वदा॑मि घ॒र्मं प्रति॑ यन्त्यू॒तय॒ आ वा॑मू॒र्जानी॒ रथ॑मश्विनारुहत् ||
Even as it moveth near my hymn is lifted up, and all the regions come together to sing praise. I sweeten the oblations; now the helpers come. Ūrjānī hath, O Aśvins, mounted on your car.
Even as it nears, my hymn rises, and all regions gather to sing; I sweeten the offerings—now the helpers come. Urjani, O Ashvins, has mounted your car.
As ratha approaches, dig-uktha rises and directions unite; Urjani (strength/nourishment) boards—Shakti accompanying Ashvin arrival.
Momentum attracts chorus. As real help approaches, align teams and sweeten contributions so collective energy mounts the same vehicle.
1.119.3
सं यन्मि॒थः प॑स्पृधा॒नासो॒ अग्म॑त शु॒भे म॒खा अमि॑ता जा॒यवो॒ रणे॑ |
यु॒वोरह॑ प्रव॒णे चे॑किते॒ रथो॒ यद॑श्विना॒ वह॑थः सू॒रिमा वर॑म् ||
When striving man with man for glory they have met, brisk, measureless, eager for victory in fight, Then verily your car is seen upon the slope when ye, O Aśvins, bring some choice boon to the prince.
When man meets man striving for glory—brisk, measureless, eager for victory—then truly your car is seen on the slope as you, Ashvins, bring some choice boon to the prince.
In competitive yashas-strife the Ashvin ratha appears on the incline with vara for the leader—grace in the thick of human contest.
In high-stakes competition, ethical boons—insight, timing, allies—often decide outcomes. Seek fair advantage through skill and character.
1.119.4
यु॒वं भु॒ज्युं भु॒रमा॑णं॒ विभि॑र्ग॒तं स्वयु॑क्तिभिर्नि॒वह॑न्ता पि॒तृभ्य॒ आ |
या॒सि॒ष्टं व॒र्तिर्वृ॑षणा विजे॒न्यं१ दिवो॑दासाय॒ महि॑ चेति वा॒मव॑: ||
Ye came to Bhujyu while he struggled in the flood, with flying birds, self-yoked, ye bore him to his sires. Ye went to the far-distant home, O Mighty Ones; and famed is your great aid to Divodāsa given.
You came to Bhujyu struggling in the flood with self-yoked flying birds; you went to the far home, Mighty Ones; famed is your great aid to Divodasa.
Bhujyu-samudra rescue via self-yoked birds plus Divodasa-upakara: Ashvin kirti spans ocean ordeal and royal patronage.
Apply the same excellence to crisis rescue and ongoing partnership. Reputation is built across emergencies and steady alliances.
1.119.5
यु॒वोर॑श्विना॒ वपु॑षे युवा॒युजं॒ रथं॒ वाणी॑ येमतुरस्य॒ शर्ध्य॑म् |
आ वां॑ पति॒त्वं स॒ख्याय॑ ज॒ग्मुषी॒ योषा॑वृणीत॒ जेन्या॑ यु॒वां पती॑ ||
Aśvins, the car which you had yoked for glorious show your own two voices urged directed to its goal. Then she who came for friendship, Maid of noble birth, elected you as Husbands, you to be her Lords.
Ashvins, the car you yoked for glorious show your own two voices urged to its goal; then she who came for friendship, maid of noble birth, elected you as husbands and lords.
Ashvin dual vak directs their own ratha; noble kanya chooses them as pati—elective bond of friendship ripening to lordship.
Let mutual voice and consent steer partnerships. The best alliances are chosen in friendship, not coerced by display alone.
1.119.6
यु॒वं रे॒भं परि॑षूतेरुरुष्यथो हि॒मेन॑ घ॒र्मं परि॑तप्त॒मत्र॑ये |
यु॒वं श॒योर॑व॒सं पि॑प्यथु॒र्गवि॒ प्र दी॒र्घेण॒ वन्द॑नस्ता॒र्यायु॑षा ||
Rebha ye saved from tyranny; for Atri's sake ye quenched with cold the fiery pit that compassed him. Ye made the cow of Śayu stream refreshing milk, and Vandana was holpen to extended life.
You saved Rebha from tyranny; for Atri you quenched with cold the fiery pit; you made Shayu's cow stream milk; and Vandana was helped to extended life.
Four mercies: tyranny broken, fire cooled, barrenness milked, life extended—Ashvin chikitsa across social, elemental, pastoral, and vital domains.
Diversify care: justice, cooling of hot crises, livelihood restoration, and longevity support belong in one toolkit.
1.119.7
यु॒वं वन्द॑नं॒ निर्ऋ॑तं जर॒ण्यया॒ रथं॒ न द॑स्रा कर॒णा समि॑न्वथः |
क्षेत्रा॒दा विप्रं॑ जनथो विप॒न्यया॒ प्र वा॒मत्र॑ विध॒ते दं॒सना॑ भुवत् ||
Doers of marvels, skilful workers, ye restored Vandana, like a car, worn out with length of days. From earth ye brought the sage to life in wondrous mode; be your great deeds done here for him who honours you.
Doers of marvels, skilled workers, you restored Vandana like a car worn by long days; from earth you brought the sage to life wondrously—do your great deeds here for him who honors you.
Vandana like jirna-ratha refurbished; earth-uddharana of the rishi—Ashvins as master craftsmen of renewal for the honor-giving yajamana.
Refurbish exhausted people and systems like skilled mechanics. Honor and maintenance prevent total breakdown.
1.119.8
अग॑च्छतं॒ कृप॑माणं परा॒वति॑ पि॒तुः स्वस्य॒ त्यज॑सा॒ निबा॑धितम् |
स्व॑र्वतीरि॒त ऊ॒तीर्यु॒वोरह॑ चि॒त्रा अ॒भीके॑ अभवन्न॒भिष्ट॑यः ||

You went to him who mourned in a far place, left forlorn by a father's treachery; rich with heaven's light was your help, and marvelous your succour as you stood by him.
Dura-desha shoka and pitri-droha met by Ashvin dyu-jyotis aid—sannidhi as the form of marvelous rescue.
Show up for people abandoned by family systems. Loyal presence, rich in clarity, is often the most marvelous intervention.
1.119.9
उ॒त स्या वां॒ मधु॑म॒न्मक्षि॑कारप॒न्मदे॒ सोम॑स्यौशि॒जो हु॑वन्यति |
यु॒वं द॑धी॒चो मन॒ आ वि॑वास॒थो ऽथा॒ शिर॒: प्रति॑ वा॒मश्व्यं॑ वदत् ||
To you in praise of sweetness sang the honey-bee: Auśija calleth you in Soma's rapturous joy. Ye drew unto yourselves the spirit of Dadhyac, and then the horse's head uttered his words to you.
To you in praise of sweetness sang the honey-bee; Aushija calls you in Soma's rapture; you drew Dadhyanc's spirit to yourselves, and then the horse's head uttered words to you.
Madhu-makshika stuti, Aushija's Soma-mada call, Dadhyanc's spirit and ashva-shirsha vak: multiple channels of madhu-vidya to Ashvins.
Wisdom arrives through many mouthpieces. Stay curious across nature metaphors, ecstatic art, and encoded teaching tools.
1.119.10
यु॒वं पे॒दवे॑ पुरु॒वार॑मश्विना स्पृ॒धां श्वे॒तं त॑रु॒तारं॑ दुवस्यथः |
शर्यै॑र॒भिद्युं॒ पृत॑नासु दु॒ष्टरं॑ च॒र्कृत्य॒मिन्द्र॑मिव चर्षणी॒सह॑म् ||
A horse did ye provide for Pedu, excellent, white, O ye Aśvins, conqueror of combatants, Invincible in war by arrows, seeking heaven worthy of fame, like Indra, vanquisher of men.
You provided Pedu an excellent white horse, Ashvins—conqueror of fighters, arrow-proof in war, heaven-seeking, fame-worthy, like Indra a vanquisher of men.
Pedu's ashva as yuddha-jetri, ishu-resistant, svar-seeking, Indra-tulya—Ashvin gift as portable kshatra-shakti.
Give people equipment that matches the real arena they face—durable, confidence-building, and worthy of strong reputation.
