    प्रा॒त॒र्यावा॑णा प्रथ॒मा य॑जध्वं पु॒रा गृध्रा॒दर॑रुषः पिबातः | प्रा॒तर्हि य॒ज्ञम॒श्विना॑ द॒धाते॒ प्र शं॑सन्ति क॒वयः॑ पूर्व॒भाजः॑ ||

    prātaryā́vāṇā prathamā́ yajadhvam purā́ gŕ̥dhrād áraruṣaḥ pibātaḥ prātár hí yajñám aśvínā dadhā́te prá śaṁsanti kaváyaḥ pūrvabhā́jaḥ

    Worship, O people, the twin Ashwins who travel at dawn, the first ones. Before the stingy, before the unworthy, they drink. The Ashwins accept the morning sacrifice; the wise poets praise them as the first partakers.

    Stanza 5.77.2

    प्रा॒तर्य॑जध्वम॒श्विना॑ हिनोत॒ न सा॒यम॑स्ति देव॒या अजु॑ष्टम् | उ॒तान्यो अ॒स्मद्य॑जते॒ वि चावः॒ पूर्वः॑पूर्वो॒ यज॑मानो॒ वनी॑यान् ||

    prātár yajadhvam aśvínā hinota ná sāyám asti devayā́ ájuṣṭam utā́nyó asmád yajate ví cā́vaḥ pū́rvaḥ-pūrvo yájamāno vánīyān

    Worship the Ashwins in the morning; urge them on. Evening is not the time for divine acceptance. If another worships us [or worships instead of us], he gains favor. Whoever worships first, successively, is the most desirable.

    Stanza 5.77.3

    हिर॑ण्यत्व॒ङ्मधु॑वर्णो घृ॒तस्नुः॒ पृक्षो॒ वह॒न्ना रथो॑ वर्तते वाम् | मनो॑जवा अश्विना॒ वात॑रंहा॒ येना॑तिया॒थो दु॑रि॒तानि॒ विश्वा॑ ||

    Your chariot, golden-hued, honey-colored, and flowing with richness, carrying food, moves. O Ashwins, swift as thought and wind-swift, by which you traverse all difficulties.

    Stanza 5.77.4

    यो भूयि॑ष्ठं॒ नास॑त्याभ्यां वि॒वेष॒ चनि॑ष्ठं पि॒त्वो रर॑ते विभा॒गे | स तो॒कम॑स्य पीपर॒च्छमी॑भि॒रनू॑र्ध्वभासः॒ सद॒मित्तु॑तुर्यात् ||

    He who has most thoroughly entered into service with the Nasatyas (Ashwins), and in distribution enjoys the sweetest food, he nourishes his offspring with his sacred rites. He surpasses those whose flames [offerings] do not rise.

    Stanza 5.77.5

    सम॒श्विनो॒रव॑सा॒ नूत॑नेन मयो॒भुवा॑ सु॒प्रणी॑ती गमेम | आ नो॑ र॒यिं व॑हत॒मोत वी॒राना विश्वा॑न्यमृता॒ सौभ॑गानि ||

    sám aśvínor ávasā nū́tanena mayobhúvā supráṇītī gamema ā́ no rayíṁ vahatam ótá vīrā́n ā́ víśvāny amr̥tā saúbhagāni

    May we attain the newest help of the Ashwins, the joy-bringing, well-guided ones. Bring us wealth, and heroes, and all immortal blessings and prosperity.
