Rig Veda 2.37.5: Mandala 2, Sukta 37, Mantra 5

Sukta 2.37

Rishi: Gṛtsamada (attributed seer of much of Mandala 2; hymn-context suggests the Gṛtsamada cycle)

Devata: Aśvins (dual; invoked as vājinīvasū, arriving by chariot, drinking Soma)

Chandas: Trishtubh (11-syllable cadence typical for many RV 2.x invocations; this verse fits the triṣṭubh movement)

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अर्वाञ्चमद्य यय्यं नृवाहणं रथं युञ्जाथामिह वां विमोचनम् । पृङ्क्तं हवींषि मधुना हि कं गतमथा सोमं पिबतं वाजिनीवसू ॥

Translation

আজ এখানে তোমাদের বিমোচন ও বিস্তৃত কর্মের জন্য, নরবাহন, অগ্রগামী রথটি যোজনা করো। হবিদিগকে মধুরসে মিশ্রিত করো; আমাদের এই আহ্বানে নিশ্চয়ই এসো; তারপর, হে বাজিনীবসু, সোম পান করো।
