Hymn To Dawn And The Asvins
awoke.
Thou, Goddess, hast disclosed the hymn and holy gift from
mortal men.
2. Awake the Asvins, Goddess Dawn! Up, mighty Lady of Sweet
Strains!
Rise straightway, priest of sacrifice! High glory to the glad-
dening draught!
3. Thou, Dawn, approaching with thy light, shinest together with
the Sun, p. 378
And to this man-protecting home the chariot of the Asvins
comes.
4. When yellow stalks give forth the juice as cows from udders
pour their milk,
And voices sound the song of praise, the Asvins' worshippers
show first.
5. Forward for glory and for strength, protection that shall con-
quer men,
And power and skill, most sapient Ones!
6. When, Asvins worthy of our lauds, ye seat you in the father's
house.
With wisdom or the bliss ye bring.
