Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 5 — Chapter 77

RV 5 77.1

प्रातर्यावाणा प्रथमा यजध्वम् पुरा गृध्राद् अररुषः पिबातः । प्रातर् हि यज्ञम् अश्विना दधाते प्र शꣳसन्ति कवयः पूर्वभाजः

prātaryāvāṇā prathamā yajadhvam purā gṛdhrād araruṣaḥ pibātaḥ | prātar hi yajñam aśvinā dadhāte pra śaṁsanti kavayaḥ pūrvabhājaḥ

Sacrifice first to the two who come in the morning: let them drink before the grudging vulture. For in the morning the Aśvins take possession of the sacrifice; the sage poets who have the first share proclaim it.

RV 5 77.2

प्रातर् यजध्वम् अश्विना हिनोत न सायम् अस्ति देवया अजुष्टम् । उतान्यो अस्मद् यजते वि चावः पूर्वः-पूर्वो यजमानो वनीयान्

prātar yajadhvam aśvinā hinota na sāyam asti devayā ajuṣṭam | utānyo asmad yajate vi cāvaḥ pūrvaḥ-pūrvo yajamāno vanīyān

Sacrifice in the morning, urge on the Aśvins; the evening is not god-seeking, it is unwelcome. And another besides us sacrifices—be off!—the sacrificer who is earlier and earlier wins more.

RV 5 77.3

हिरण्यत्वङ् मधुवर्णो घृतस्नुः पृक्षो वहन्न् आ रथो वर्तते वाम् । मनोजवा अश्विना वातरꣳहा येनातियाथो दुरितानि विश्वा

hiraṇyatvaṅ madhuvarṇo ghṛtasnuḥ pṛkṣo vahann ā ratho vartate vām | manojavā aśvinā vātaraṁhā yenātiyātho duritāni viśvā

Golden-skinned, honey-coloured, dripping with ghee, carrying nourishment, your chariot rolls here—swift as thought, Aśvins, rushing like the wind, by which you drive over all difficulties.

RV 5 77.4

यो भूयिष्ठꣳ नासत्याभ्याꣳ विवेष चनिष्ठम् पित्वो ररते विभागे । स तोकम् अस्य पीपरच् छमीभिर् अनूर्ध्वभासः सदम् इत् तुतुर्यात्

yo bhūyiṣṭhaṁ nāsatyābhyāṁ viveṣa caniṣṭham pitvo rarate vibhāge | sa tokam asya pīparac chamībhir anūrdhvabhāsaḥ sadam it tuturyāt

He who has laboured most for the Nāsatyas, who grants the most pleasing portion of his food at the sharing out—he shall bring his offspring through by his rites; he shall always overcome those whose flame does not rise.

RV 5 77.5

सम् अश्विनोर् अवसा नूतनेन मयोभुवा सुप्रणीती गमेम । आ नो रयिꣳ वहतम् ओत वीरान् आ विश्वान्य् अमृता सौभगानि

sam aśvinor avasā nūtanena mayobhuvā supraṇītī gamema | ā no rayiṁ vahatam ota vīrān ā viśvāny amṛtā saubhagāni

May we come into contact with the Aśvins' new aid, which brings joy and good guidance. Carry wealth to us, and heroes too, and all good fortunes, you immortals.
