RV 5 76.1

आ भात्य् अग्निर् उषसाम् अनीकम् उद् विप्राणाꣳ देवया वाचो अस्थुः । अर्वाञ्चा नूनꣳ रथ्येह यातम् पीपिवाꣳसम् अश्विना घर्मम् अच्छ

ā bhāty agnir uṣasām anīkam ud viprāṇāṁ devayā vāco asthuḥ | arvāñcā nūnaṁ rathyeha yātam pīpivāṁsam aśvinā gharmam accha

Agni shines out, the face of the dawns; the god-seeking speeches of the inspired have risen up. Turned hither now, you charioteers, drive here, Aśvins, toward the swelling hot draught.

AGNI, the bright face of the Dawns, is shining; the singers' pious voices have ascended. Borne on your chariot, Aṣvins, turn you hither and come unto our full and rich libation.

RV 5 76.2

न सꣳस्कृतम् प्र मिमीतो गमिष्ठान्ति नूनम् अश्विनोपस्तुतेह । दिवाभिपित्वे ऽवसागमिष्ठा प्रत्य् अवर्तिꣳ दाशुषे शम्भविष्ठा

na saṁskṛtam pra mimīto gamiṣṭhānti nūnam aśvinopastuteha | divābhipitve 'vasāgamiṣṭhā praty avartiṁ dāśuṣe śambhaviṣṭhā

They do not disregard what has been prepared—they who come the most readily; now indeed the Aśvins are praised here nearby. Coming most readily with aid at the day's decline, most beneficent in turning off destitution for the worshipper.

Most frequent guests, they scorn not what is ready: even now the lauded Aṣvins are beside us. With promptest aid they come at morn and evening, the worshipper's most blessed guards from trouble.

RV 5 76.3

उता यातꣳ सꣳगवे प्रातर् अह्नो मध्यꣳदिन उदिता सूर्यस्य । दिवा नक्तम् अवसा शꣳतमेन नेदानीम् पीतिर् अश्विना ततान

utā yātaṁ saṁgave prātar ahno madhyaṁdina uditā sūryasya | divā naktam avasā śaṁtamena nedānīm pītir aśvinā tatāna

And come at the cow-gathering, in the morning of the day, at midday, at the rising of the sun; by day, by night, with most kindly aid—not just now has the drinking been extended, Aśvins.

Yea, come at milking-time, at early morning, at noon of day and when the Sun is setting, By day, by night, with favour most auspicious. Not only now the draught hath drawn the Aṣvins.

RV 5 76.4

इदꣳ हि वाम् प्रदिवि स्थानम् ओक इमे गृहा अश्विनेदꣳ दुरोणम् । आ नो दिवो बृहतः पर्वताद् आद्भ्यो यातम् इषम् ऊर्जꣳ वहन्ता

idaṁ hi vām pradivi sthānam oka ime gṛhā aśvinedaṁ duroṇam | ā no divo bṛhataḥ parvatād ādbhyo yātam iṣam ūrjaṁ vahantā

For this has been your station from of old, this your dwelling, these the houses, Aśvins, this the home. Come to us from lofty heaven, from the mountain, from the waters, conveying refreshment and strength.
