5.77.2
प्रा॒तर्य॑जध्वम॒श्विना॑ हिनोत॒ न सा॒यम॑स्ति देव॒या अजु॑ष्टम् | उ॒तान्यो अ॒स्मद् य॑जते॒ वि चाव॒: पूर्व॑:पूर्वो॒ यज॑मानो॒ वनी॑यान् ||
Worship at dawn and instigate the Aśvins: nor is the worshipper at eve rejected. Besides ourselves another craves and worships: each first in worship is most highly favoured.

हिर॑ण्यत्व॒ङ्मधु॑वर्णो घृ॒तस्नु॒: पृक्षो॒ वह॒न्ना रथो॑ वर्तते वाम् | मनो॑जवा अश्विना॒ वात॑रंहा॒ येना॑तिया॒थो दु॑रि॒तानि॒ विश्वा॑ ||
Covered with gold, meath-tinted, dropping fatness, your chariot with its freight of food comes hither, Swift as thought, Aśvins, rapid as the tempest, wherewith ye travel over all obstructions.

यो भूयि॑ष्ठं॒ नास॑त्याभ्यां वि॒वेष॒ चनि॑ष्ठं पि॒त्वो रर॑ते विभा॒गे | स तो॒कम॑स्य पीपर॒च्छमी॑भि॒रनू॑र्ध्वभास॒: सद॒मित् तु॑तुर्यात् ||
He who hath served most often the Nāsatyas, and gives the sweetest food at distribution, Furthers with his own holy works his offspring, and ever passes those whose flames ascend not.

May we obtain the Aśvins' newest favour, and gain their health-bestowing happy guidance. Bring riches hither unto us, and heroes, and all felicity and joy, Immortals!
