O Aśvins, ye who ride swiftly through the heavens! Ye who are always moving, never resting, never tiring!

Ye are the pattern for all who would travel far from their homes. Ye show us how to endure hardship and overcome obstacles. Ye teach us the value of companionship and loyalty.

Ye are strong and brave; ye are clever and resourceful. Ye face every challenge with courage and wisdom!

Come to those who are traveling, O Aśvins! Come to those who are lost in the wilderness! Come to those who are far from home and afraid!

Guide them safely to their destination! Keep them from danger! Provide them with food and shelter! Bring them back to those who love them!

Ye are the protectors of all who journey; ye are the guardians of all who wander. We trust in your protection; we rely on your strength!

Accept our hymn of praise, O swift ones! Be gracious unto all who call upon your name!
