Rig Veda 10.39.14: Mandala 10, Sukta 39, Mantra 14

Sukta 10.39

Devata: Aśvinau
Chandas: Jagati (probable for many Aśvin hymns; exact metrical confirmation needed)

एतं वां स्तोममश्विनावकर्मातक्षाम भृगवो न रथम् । न्यमृक्षाम योषणां न मर्ये नित्यं न सूनुं तनयं दधानाः ॥

etáṃ vāṃ stómam aśvināv akarmā́takṣāma bhṛ́gavo ná rátham | ny àmṛkṣāma yóṣaṇāṃ ná már ye nítyaṃ ná sūnúṃ tánayaṃ dádhānāḥ ||

This hymn to you, O Aśvins, we have fashioned—like the Bhṛgus a chariot. We have set it in order and made it bright, as a young woman adorns herself for her lover, as one holds ever a son, a cherished child within.
