Opening the text

Sukta 5.76
Atri (Ātreya) tradition (probable for this Aśvin hymn cluster)
Aśvinau (primary); Agni and Uṣas as opening powers
Jagatī (probable; needs confirmation)
Yeh mantra subah ke time Agni ke aane se shuru hota hai. Phir achhi baat upar uthke devtaon tak pahunchti hai. Ashvin bhaiyon ko bulaya ja raha hai ki apni rath gharm ke paas mod ke laao. Woh dono doctor devta subah, dopahar, din aur raat har time aate rehne chahiye. Unka swadisht drink aur suraksha kabhi khatam na ho. Hum unki madad se saath chalna chahte hain jo hamesha nayi rahe. Aur humein dhan, taakat aur accha bhagya mile.
Mantra 1
आ भात्यग्निरुषसामनीकमुद्विप्राणां देवया वाचो अस्थुः । अर्वाञ्चा नूनं रथ्येह यातं पीपिवांसमश्विना घर्ममच्छ ॥
Agni chamak raha hai, subah ke roshni jaisa. Rishi log bhagwan ke liye bol rahe hain. Ashvin brothers, apna rath lekar aao. Yahan meetha paani taiyaar hai tumhare liye.
Mantra 2
न संस्कृतं प्र मिमीतो गमिष्ठान्ति नूनमश्विनोपस्तुतेह । दिवाभिपित्वेऽवसागमिष्ठा प्रत्यवर्तिं दाशुषे शम्भविष्ठा ॥
Tum sirf plan ke hisaab se mat aao. Jab log tumhare liye gaate hain, tab turant aao. Din mein bhi, raat mein bhi, madad lekar aao. Jo log dete hain, unka kaam aasan karo.
Mantra 3
उता यातं संगवे प्रातरह्नो मध्यंदिन उदिता सूर्यस्य । दिवा नक्तमवसा शंतमेन नेदानीं पीतिरश्विना ततान ॥
Subah aao, dopahar mein jab suraj upar ho, tab bhi aao. Din mein bhi, raat mein bhi, shanti lekar aao. Ashvin brothers, abhi meetha paani humare liye taiyaar ho.
Mantra 4
इदं हि वां प्रदिवि स्थानमोक इमे गृहा अश्विनेदं दुरोणम् । आ नो दिवो बृहतः पर्वतादाद्भ्यो यातमिषमूर्जं वहन्ता ॥
Ashvin bhaiyon, yeh upar aasman mein tumhara apna ghar hai. Yeh sab ghar tumhare liye hi hain. Bade aasman se, pahad se, paani se, yahan aao. Hamein taakat lao aur khana lao.
Mantra 5
समश्विनोरवसा नूतनेन मयोभुवा सुप्रणीती गमेम । आ नो रयिं वहतमोत वीराना विश्वान्यमृता सौभगानि ॥
Ashvin bhaiyon ki madad se hum aage badhein. Unki madad hamesha nayi hoti hai aur khushi deti hai. Hamein dhan lao, taakat lao. Jo bhi achha hai, sab kuchh lao.
They are divine twin horsemen and healers who arrive quickly in a chariot, especially at dawn and other transition times, bringing protection, renewal, and well-being.
Agni and Dawn mark the opening of the ritual and of consciousness: the fire ‘shines as the face of the Dawns,’ and inspired speech rises, creating the right moment to invite the Aśvins.
Gharmá is a warming, invigorating draught prepared for the gods; in ritual language it can point to a hot or vitalizing offering and, more broadly, to the refreshment and life-force the Aśvins bestow.
