HYMN CXL

Continuation of the preceding hymn to the Asvins

What force, Nasatyas, ye exert, whatever, Gods, ye tend and
heal,
This your own Vatsa gains not by his hymns alone: ye visit him
who offers gifts.
Now hath the Rishi splendidly thought out the Asvins' hymn
of praise.
Let the Atharvan pour the warm oblation forth, and Soma very
rich in sweets.
Ye Asvins, now ascend your car that lightly rolls upon its way.
May these my praises make you speed hitherward like a cloud of
heaven.
When, O Nasatyas, we this day make you speed hither N ith our
hymns,
Or, Asvins, with our songs of praise, remember Kanva specially.
As erst Kakshivan and the Rishi Vyasva, as erst Dirghatamas
invoked your presence,
Or, in the sacrificial chambers, Vainya Prithi, so be ye mindful
of us here, O Asvins.
