O Aśvins, ye swift riders of the dawn! Your golden chariot raceth across the heavens, and nothing can keep pace with you!

Ye bring the light of dawn to the world. Ye drive away the darkness. Ye awaken the sleeping creatures. Ye herald the coming of the sun!

Ye are young and beautiful; ye are strong and mighty. Ye are the friends of all who are righteous and good.

Come to the aid of the poor man who is oppressed by the rich! Come to the help of the weak one who is bullied by the strong! Come to the rescue of the innocent one who is persecuted by the wicked!

Ye have the power to overturn all things! Ye have the strength to defeat all enemies! Ye have the wisdom to judge all disputes justly!

Accept our prayer, O Aśvins! Grant us your protection! Guide us along the righteous path! Lead us to prosperity and peace!
