Sukta 8.85
Aśvins (Nāsatyas)
Is mantra mein kavi Ashvin dono bhaiyon ko bulata hai. Nasatya naam se bhi pukarte hain, jaldi aane ko kehte hain. Inko meetha Soma peene ka nimantran dete hain. Kavi maangta hai ki ye devata suraksha den. Ye bolne ki shakti bhi badha dein. Yagya ka kaam safal banane madad karein. Jab ye samay par aate hain tab hi sab kuch acha hota hai.
