Wahai Aśvin kembar, kalian berdua membentuk bagi putra Tugrya sebuah “pengapung” yang berdiri oleh dirinya sendiri di sungai-sungai—seorang pembawa bersayap; dengannya, dengan batin yang berpaling kepada para dewa, kalian mengangkatnya keluar; bersayap baik, kalian membuatnya menyeberang melampaui desakan gelora yang besar.
