That chariot of yours we would call today, O Aśvins, the broad-coursing one, the meeting-place of the cow, which carries Sūryā, which has a rider's seat, which is drawn by songs, most abundant, seeking goods.

Come to us from heaven, from earth, with the golden, well-rolling chariot; let not others, seeking the gods, hold you back — the ancient kinship with you two has been contracted (with us).

पनाय्यं तद् अश्विना कृतं वां वृषभो दिवो रजसः पृथिव्याः । सहस्रं शंसा उत ये गविष्टौ सर्वाꣳ इत् ताꣳ उप याता पिबध्यै

That deed of yours is to be marvelled at, O Aśvins: the bull of heaven, of the airy space, of the earth; and the thousand invocations that there are in the quest for cattle — to all of them do come, to drink.
