Sukta 10

Mantra 1

यत्स्थो दीर्घप्रसद्मनि यद्वादो रोचने दिवः । यद्वा समुद्रे अध्याकृते गृहेऽत आ यातमश्विना ॥

Whether you stand in the far-extended seat, or there in the shining realm of heaven; or whether upon the ocean, in a fashioned home—thence come here, O Ashvins.

Mantra 2

यद्वा यज्ञं मनवे सम्मिमिक्षथुरेवेत्काण्वस्य बोधतम् । बृहस्पतिं विश्वान्देवाँ अहं हुव इन्द्राविष्णू अश्विनावाशुहेषसा ॥

Or if you have blended and set the sacrifice for Manu—then awaken to the call of the Kāṇva. I invoke Brihaspati, all the gods, Indra and Vishnu, and you too, O Ashvins of swift coursing power.

Mantra 3

त्या न्वश्विना हुवे सुदंससा गृभे कृता । ययोरस्ति प्र णः सख्यं देवेष्वध्याप्यम् ॥

Those two Ashvins I call, the well-working, established in our grasp; for with them there is for us a friendship that reaches into the gods, a kinship in the waters of being.

Mantra 4

ययोरधि प्र यज्ञा असूरे सन्ति सूरयः । ता यज्ञस्याध्वरस्य प्रचेतसा स्वधाभिर्या पिबतः सोम्यं मधु ॥

Upon whom the sacrifices advance, and the illumined seers are in their unfailing power—those two, wide-aware in the sacrifice and the path of offering, who by their own law drink the honey of Soma.

Mantra 5

यदद्याश्विनावपाग्यत्प्राक्स्थो वाजिनीवसू । यद्द्रुह्यव्यनवि तुर्वशे यदौ हुवे वामथ मा गतम् ॥

If today, O Ashvins, you are turned away, or if you are far to the east, O lords of plenitude of force; if you are with Druhyu, Anu, or Turvaśa—then when I call you, do not fail to come to me.

Mantra 6

यदन्तरिक्षे पतथः पुरुभुजा यद्वेमे रोदसी अनु । यद्वा स्वधाभिरधितिष्ठथो रथमत आ यातमश्विना ॥

Whether you move through the mid-world, O wide-givers, or follow after these two worlds, or whether by your own inherent power you mount your chariot—thence come to us, O Aśvins.
