Sama Veda II.8.3.8: O Asvins, wonderful in act, do ye unanimous
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. O Asvins, wonderful in act, do ye unanimous direct
Your chariot to our home wealthy in kine and gold!
2. Hither may they who wake at dawn bring, to drink Soma, both the Gods,
Health-givers, wonder-workers, borne on paths of gold!
3. Ye who brought down the hymn from heaven, a light that giveth light to men,
Do ye, O Asvins, bring strength hither unto us!
