1.184.1
ता वा॑म॒द्य ताव॑प॒रं हु॑वेमो॒च्छन्त्या॑मु॒षसि॒ वह्नि॑रु॒क्थैः |
नास॑त्या॒ कुह॑ चि॒त् सन्ता॑व॒र्यो दि॒वो नपा॑ता सु॒दास्त॑राय ||
LET us invoke you both this day and after the priest is here with lauds when morn is breaking: Nāsatyas, wheresoe’er ye be, Heaven's Children, for him who is more liberal than the godless.
Invoke you both today and after, with priest and lauds at daybreak—Nāsatyas, Heaven's Children, wherever you are, for one more liberal than the godless.
Uṣas-kāla āvāhana; Aśvins as divas putrau for the sudāś vs adevayu. Liberality (dāna) qualifies the seeker.
Start early; seek helpers on behalf of generous people, not those who refuse shared sacred obligation.
1.184.2
अ॒स्मे ऊ॒ षु वृ॑षणा मादयेथा॒मुत् प॒णीँर्ह॑तमू॒र्म्या मद॑न्ता |
श्रु॒तं मे॒ अच्छो॑क्तिभिर्मती॒नामेष्टा॑ नरा॒ निचे॑तारा च॒ कर्णै॑: ||
With us, ye Mighty, let yourselves be joyful, glad in our stream of Soma slay the niggards. Graciously hear my hymns and invitations, marking, O Heroes, with your cars my longing.
Be joyful with us in Soma's stream; slay the niggards; hear my hymns and invitations, marking my longing with your cars.
Mad-soma joy; arāti-han; ratha marking kāma—Aśvins as attentive to longing, not only ritual form.
Celebrate with contributors, refuse chronic takers, and let response prove you noticed someone's sincere longing.
1.184.3
श्रि॒ये पू॑षन्निषु॒कृते॑व दे॒वा नास॑त्या वह॒तुं सू॒र्याया॑: |
व॒च्यन्ते॑ वां ककु॒हा अ॒प्सु जा॒ता यु॒गा जू॒र्णेव॒ वरु॑णस्य॒ भूरे॑: ||
Nāsatyas, Pūṣans, ye as Gods for glory arranged and set in order Sūrya's bridal. Your giant steeds move on, sprung from the waters, like ancient times of Varuṇa the Mighty.
Nāsatyas, Pūṣans, as Gods for glory you arranged Sūryā's bridal; your giant water-born steeds move like ancient times of mighty Varuṇa.
Sūryā-vivāha: Aśvins as wedding-orderers—cosmic marriage logistics. Water-born steeds and Varuṇa-time depth: oceanic antiquity of their power.
Order life-transitions carefully; draw on deep, steady timing—not only novelty—when guiding unions and alliances.
1.184.4
अ॒स्मे सा वां॑ माध्वी रा॒तिर॑स्तु॒ स्तोमं॑ हिनोतं मा॒न्यस्य॑ का॒रोः |
अनु॒ यद् वां॑ श्रव॒स्या॑ सुदानू सु॒वीर्या॑य चर्ष॒णयो॒ मद॑न्ति ||
Your grace be with us, ye who love sweet juices: further the hymn sung by the poet Māna, When men are joyful in your glorious actions, to win heroic strength, ye Bounteous Givers.
Let your grace be with us, lovers of sweet juices; further Māna's hymn when men rejoice in your acts to win heroic strength.
Mīḍhuṣām ūtī for Māna-kavi; narāḥ rejoicing in Aśvin kṛtyā to win vīrya. Grace (sumati) fuels heroic capacity.
Channel appreciation of good deeds into courage—celebration should increase capability, not passivity.
1.184.5
ए॒ष वां॒ स्तोमो॑ अश्विनावकारि॒ माने॑भिर्मघवाना सुवृ॒क्ति |
या॒तं व॒र्तिस्तन॑याय॒ त्मने॑ चा॒गस्त्ये॑ नासत्या॒ मद॑न्ता ||
This praise was made, O liberal Lords, O Aśvins, for you with fair adornment by the Mānas. Come to our house for us and for our children, rejoicing, O Nāsatyas, in Agastya.
This adorned praise the Mānas made for you; come to our house for us and our children, rejoicing in Agastya, Nāsatyas.
Māna-kula stuti; gṛha for tokā; Agastya as locus of Aśvin joy—ṛṣi-home as healing temple.
Invite help into the household for the sake of children; root professional excellence in home wellbeing.
1.184.6
अता॑रिष्म॒ तम॑सस्पा॒रम॒स्य प्रति॑ वां॒ स्तोमो॑ अश्विनावधायि |
एह या॑तं प॒थिभि॑र्देव॒यानै॑र्वि॒द्यामे॒षं वृ॒जनं॑ जी॒रदा॑नुम् ||
We have passed o’er the limit of this darkness: our praise hath been bestowed on you, O Aśvins. Come hitherward by paths which Gods have travelled. may we find strengthening food in full abundance.
We have crossed darkness's limit; praise is yours—come by gods' paths; may we find strengthening food in abundance.
Refrain shared with 1.183.6: Agastya Aśvin cycle's liturgical seal of emergence, path, and food.
Mark exits from hardship with gratitude, right-path invitations, and renewed nourishment.
