RV 7 70.1

आ विश्ववाराश्विना गतꣳ नः प्र तत् स्थानम् अवाचि वाम् पृथिव्याम् । अश्वो न वाजी शुनपृष्ठो अस्थाद् आ यत् सेदथुर् ध्रुवसे न योनिम्

O Aśvins possessing all good things, come to us; that station of yours has been proclaimed on earth. Like a prize-winning horse with a sound back it has stood firm, when you two took your seat as in a womb for steady resting.
