prá vām avocam aśvinā dhiyam-dhā́ ratháḥ sváśvo ajáro yó ásti | yénā sadyáḥ pári rajā́ṃsi yā́tho haviṣmántam taraṇíṃ bhójām áccha ||

Translation

Euch, o Aśvins, habe ich den lichttragenden Gedanken ausgesprochen: Ihr habt einen Wagen mit herrlichen Rossen, unalternd in seiner Kraft. Mit ihm durchmesst ihr sogleich die Weiten der Zwischenräume, geradewegs kommend zum schnellen Träger der Opfergabe – zu dem, der das Havis (Opferteil) genießt und austeilt.
