RIGVEDA SAMHITA : Mandala I

HYMN 118

Rishi : KAKSHIVAN Deity: ASHVINS

O Ashvins, may your car, flying like a falcon, felicitous, self-controlled, come hither. Showerers, it is faster than the mind of man, fleet as the wind, three-seated.

Faster than mind: to denote pervasion.

Fleet as the wind: irresistible in movement.

Come hither in your car, three-seated, triple of form, three-wheeled, rolling smooth. O Ashvins, fill our Cows, envigorate our Steeds, increase our hero-strength.

3: O skilled workers, coming in your well-rolling car, listen to this prayer of my regardful self. O Ashvins, do not the wise of old speak of ye as most prompt to avert our absence⁷³

O Ashvins, may your steeds, speeding, winging, yoked to your car, flying falcon-like, bear ye hither, which quick as flowing water, swift as hawks, O Nasatyas, reach us the cherished (object).
O leaders, the youthful Daughter of the Sun, delighted, ascended this your car. May the strong-bodied, shining steeds, flying at ease, bear ye to us.
By your deeds, ye raised up Vandana, O skilled workers, showerers, with your powers ye raised up Rebha; so did ye reach the son of Tugra across the sea and made Chyavana youthful again.
O Ashvins, to Atri, cast down and scorched, ye gave protective food and strength. Accepting his fair praise, he gave sight to blinded Kanva.
O Ashvins, for the ancient soliciting Shayu ye filled his Cow with milk; ye freed the quail from danger; ye provided a leg to Vishpala.
O Ashvins, ye gave to Pedu the white Vritra-slaying steed, provided by Indra, loud-neighing, overcoming the foe, high-spirited, showering a thousand treasures, firm-limbed.
O Ashvins, leaders, nobly born, earnest with prayers we invoke ye for protection. Accepting our praises, come to us in your car with wealth for our well-being.
O Nasatyas, Ashvins, come unto us, pleased in common, with the fresh speed of the falcon. Bearing offering, I invoke ye at the break of the eternal Dawn.
