RV 10 40.1

रथꣳ यान्तꣳ कुह को ह वाꣳ नरा प्रति द्युमन्तꣳ सुविताय भूषति । प्रातर्यावाणꣳ विभ्वꣳ विशे-विशे वस्तोर्-वस्तोर् वहमानꣳ धिया शमि

rathaṁ yāntaṁ kuha ko ha vāṁ narā prati dyumantaṁ suvitāya bhūṣati | prātaryāvāṇaṁ vibhvaṁ viśe-viśe vastor-vastor vahamānaṁ dhiyā śami

Where is your chariot as it goes, and who indeed, O men, waits upon the brilliant one for (his) good passage — the early-travelling one, the far-reaching, that is driven to clan after clan, morning after morning, by (our) thought and ritual labour?

RV 10 40.2

कुह स्विद् दोषा कुह वस्तोर् अश्विना कुहाभिपित्वꣳ करतः कुहोषतुः । को वाꣳ शयुत्रा विधवेव देवरम् मर्यꣳ न योषा कृणुते सधस्थ आ

kuha svid doṣā kuha vastor aśvinā kuhābhipitvaṁ karataḥ kuhoṣatuḥ | ko vāṁ śayutrā vidhaveva devaram maryaṁ na yoṣā kṛṇute sadhastha ā

Where then in the evening, where in the morning, O Aśvins, where do you make your halt, where have you dwelt? Who takes you into his bed, as a widow (takes) a brother-in-law, as a woman (takes) a young man to a common place?

RV 10 40.3

प्रातर् जरेथे जरणेव कापया वस्तोर्-वस्तोर् यजता गच्छथो गृहम् । कस्य ध्वस्रा भवथः कस्य वा नरा राजपुत्रेव सवनाव गच्छथः

At dawn you two are awakened, like two old people by Kāpī(?); morning after morning, O worshipful ones, you go to the house. For whom are you (invisible as) dust, for whom, O men, do you go to the pressings, like two king's sons?

युवाम् मृगेव वारणा मृगण्यवो दोषा वस्तोर् हविषा नि ह्वयामहे । युवꣳ होत्राम् ऋतुथा जुह्वते नरेषꣳ जनाय वहथः शुभस् पती

Ghoṣā, going about you, O Aśvins, the daughter of the king, has spoken; I ask you, O men: be for me by day and be also for the night; grant (strength) for the steed, for the man with horses and chariot.

You two are sages, O Aśvins; as Kutsa (attains) the clans, you make (your) chariot reach the singer's (house). To you two, O Aśvins, the bee has borne the honey in her mouth, as a maiden (goes) to the meeting-place.

You, O Aśvins, (brought help to) Bhujyu, you to Vaśa, you drove up to Śiñjāra (and) Uśanā; your giver abides in your friendship; with your help I long for your favour.

You, O Aśvins, (protect) Kṛśa, you Śayu, you protect the worshipper and the widow; and for the gainers you uncover, O Aśvins, the thundering seven-mouthed pen.

जनिष्ट योषा पतयत् कनीनको वि चारुहन् वीरुधो दꣳसना अनु । आस्मै रीयन्ते निवनेव सिन्धवो ऽस्मा अह्ने भवति तत् पतित्वनम्

janiṣṭa yoṣā patayat kanīnako vi cāruhan vīrudho daṁsanā anu | āsmai rīyante nivaneva sindhavo 'smā ahne bhavati tat patitvanam

A young woman has been born; the little boy flew (to her); the plants have sprung up in accordance with (these) wondrous deeds; for him the rivers flow as if down a slope; for him, on this day, that becomes husbandhood.

They weep for the living one, they exchange (cries?) at the rite; the men have looked out along the long succession. A good thing for the fathers, who have brought this together; joy for the husbands (are) the wives, to embrace.

न तस्य विद्म तद् उ षु प्र वोचत युवा ह यद् युवत्याः क्षेति योनिषु । प्रियोस्रियस्य वृषभस्य रेतिनो गृहꣳ गमेमाश्विना तद् उश्मसि

We do not know that of his — do declare it well: how the young man dwells in the wombs of the young woman. We would go to the house of the bull who loves the cows, the seed-bearing one — that, O Aśvins, is what we desire.
