ná saṃskṛtáṃ prá mimītaḥ gám-iṣṭhā ánti nūnám aśvinópa-stutéhá | divā́bhi-pitvé ’vá sā́gamiṣṭhā práty ávartim dāśúṣe śáṃ-bhaviṣṭhā ||
Translation
Do not measure out your coming by what is merely arranged; you are the most ready to arrive—now, here—when you are praised, O Ashvins. In the daylight and in the nearness of our dwelling, come with your help; turn back the obstruction for the giver, O most bringers of peace.
