O Aśvins, ye twin healers! Come forth from the East where the dawn is breaking! Come riding in your swift chariot! Bring with you all manner of blessings!

Ye have healed so many in ages past! The lame have danced; the blind have seen; the deaf have heard. Ye have raised the dead; ye have restored the lost. There is nothing that is impossible for you!

O divine physicians, hear now the cry of those who suffer! The sick lie upon their beds, burning with fever. The wounded cry out in pain. The afflicted call upon your name!

Come to us now, O kind and gentle ones! Touch us with your healing hands! Speak the words of healing over us! Restore us to health and wholeness!

Ye have come to the aid of mortals since the beginning of time. Ye have not abandoned us; ye have not forgotten us. Ye remain our constant friends and our faithful helpers!

Accept our offering, O Aśvins! Drink of the soma that we have prepared! Then go forth and heal all who are sick and suffering! Make whole what is broken! Restore what is lost!
