... Aswapati the "Traveller of the Worlds", the climber towards the far Himalayas of the Spirit, rather recalls the Vedic Aswins, the twin horse-riders, who are inseparably together, inviolably youthful, irresistibly swift-moving. In one of his hymns, Rishi Vamadeva invokes the Aswins as follows:   Full of honey upward rise the delight; upward horses and cars in the wide-shinings of the Dawn... the movement and its paths; full of honey, O Aswins, is the skin that you bear.   Full of the honey are the swans that bear you, golden-winged, waking with the Dawn, and they come not to hurt, they rain forth the waters, they are full of rapture and touch that which holds the Rapture... 72         The Aswins, blissful riders to the seas of delight, now ride... this upward movement of the chariot of the Aswins with its burden of uplifted and transformed satisfactions the veil of Night that encompasses the worlds of being in us is rolled away. All these worlds, mind, life, body, are opened to the rays of the Sun of Truth. 73   Such is the marvellous effect of the upward movement of the Aswins, who really embody the Vedic dualism of Light ...

... subjective function of the Aswins? We get it, I think, in the key words chanasyatam, rásáthám. Whatever else may be the character of the Aswins, we get from the consonance of the two Rishis this strong suggestion that they are essentially gods of delight. Is there any other confirmation of the suggestion? Every epithet in this first rik testifies strongly to its correctness. The Aswins are purubhujá, much... sense of bounteous giving seems to be fixed on the kindred word dasra also, at least when it is applied to the Aswins, by the seventeenth rik of the thirtieth Sukta, Śunahśepa’s hymn to Indra & the Aswins,— Áświná, aśvávatyá, ishá yátam śavírayá,     gomad dasrá hiranyavat. “O Aswins, arrive with energetic force of a bright-flaming strength, givers of that which is radiant and brilliant” or... the evidence of this passage and determine the subjective physiognomy of the Aswins,—purudansasá & násatyá. Sayana interprets dansas as active,—the Aswins are gods of a great activity; I suggest fashioning or forming activity,—they are “abundant fashioners”. Sayana’s interpretation suits better with the idea of the Aswins as gods full of strength, speed and delight, purudansasá, full of a rich activity ...

... scholars into a sun myth because the name of the Greek Helena, sister of the two Greek Aswins, Castor & Pollux, is philologically identical with the Vedic Sarama and that of her abductor Paris is not so very different from the Vedic Pani. It may be noted that in the Vedic story Sarama is not the sister of the Aswins and is not abducted by the Panis and that there is no other resemblance between the Vedic... To identify the Aswins with the two sons of the Greek Dyaus, Kastor and Polydeuces, and again these two pairs conjecturally with two stars of the constellation Gemini is easy & carries with it a great air of likelihood; but an air of likelihood is not proof. We need more for anything like rational conviction or certainty. In the Veda there are a certain number of hymns to the Aswins & a fair number... astronomical conception and reconciled with it. Then only can we accept it as a proved probability, if not a proved certainty, that the Aswins are the constellation Gemini and, in that known character, worshipped in the sacred chants.

... runs the first verse, Aswin yajwaririsho dravatpani subhaspati, Purubhuja chanasyatam. O Aswins, cries Madhuchchhanda, I am in the full rush, the full ecstasy of the sacrificial action, O swift-footed, much-enjoying Page 48 masters of happiness, take in me your delight. Again they are purudansasa, wide-distributing, nara, strong. “O strong wide-distributing Aswins,” continues the singer... sufficient. There are three passages, also of three verses each, consecrated successively to the Aswins, Indra & the Visve Devah. I shall give briefly my own view of these three passages and the gods they invoke. The master word of the address to the Aswins is the verb chanasyatam, take your delight. The Aswins, as I understand them, are the masters of strength, youth, joy, swiftness, pleasure, rapture... meaning which, for philological reasons, I take to mean gods of movement.As the movement indicated by this and kindred words nâ, (natare), especially meant a gliding, floating, swimming movement, the Aswins came to be especially the protectors of ships & sailors, and it is in this capacity that we find Castor & Polydeuces (Purudansas) acting, their Western counterparts, the brothers of Helen (Sarama) ...

... , the "fabulous griffin-like creature with body of horse", 83 naturally calls to our mind the Aswins of the Veda rising upward in the "wide-shinings of the Dawn"; and since the hippogriff is also a winged creature, it is seen affiliated to the hamsa, the golden-winged swans that carry the Aswins to their goal of liberation and realisation.
