Sukta 72

Mantra 1

आ गोमता नासत्या रथेनाश्वावता पुरुश्चन्द्रेण यातम् । अभि वां विश्वा नियुतः सचन्ते स्पार्हया श्रिया तन्वा शुभाना ॥

Come, O Nāsatyas, in the chariot rich in luminous herds and strong steeds, bright with many splendors. All your harnessed powers gather around you; radiant in your very body with a desirable beauty, you arrive.

Mantra 2

आ नो देवेभिरुप यातमर्वाक्सजोषसा नासत्या रथेन । युवोर्हि नः सख्या पित्र्याणि समानो बन्धुरुत तस्य वित्तम् ॥

Come to us from near, together with the gods, O Nāsatyas, in one accord in your chariot. For with you is our ancestral friendship; the bond is one, and you know well the truth of that kinship.

Mantra 3

उदु स्तोमासो अश्विनोरबुध्रञ्जामि ब्रह्माण्युषसश्च देवीः । आविवासन्रोदसी धिष्ण्येमे अच्छा विप्रो नासत्या विवक्ति ॥

Up have awakened the hymns for the Aśvins, and the familiar sacred words, and Dawn the goddess. These two worlds are made ready for adoration; the inspired seer leads (his call) towards the Nāsatyas.

Mantra 4

वि चेदुच्छन्त्यश्विना उषासः प्र वां ब्रह्माणि कारवो भरन्ते । ऊर्ध्वं भानुं सविता देवो अश्रेद्बृहदग्नयः समिधा जरन्ते ॥

When the Dawns shine forth, O Aśvins, the singers bring forward to you the sacred words. Savitṛ has lifted high the beam of light, and the great fires, fed by kindling, blaze upward.

Mantra 5

आ पश्चातान्नासत्या पुरस्तादाश्विना यातमधरादुदक्तात् । आ विश्वतः पाञ्चजन्येन राया यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

From behind and from before, O Nāsatyas; from below and from above, O Aśvins, come to us. From every side with the wealth that serves the fivefold human being, do you guard us always with your powers of well-being.
