Vamadeva is calling Ashvinau, the twin healers, in this mantra. Wo dono bade jaldi madad karne wale hain aur aate bhi tezi se hain. Kavi unse keh raha hai ki uski baat suno aur uska bol maan lo. Jab bulaya jaye to sabse nazdeeki rasta se aana hai. Unke aane ka chamak aur taakat dekh ke hairani hoti hai. Baar baar unse badi suraksha aur madad maangi hai. Kavi apne liye aur apne logon ke liye jeevan dene wali kripa chahta hai.
