HYMN CXLII

Hymn to Dawn and the Asvins

1Together with the Goddess, with the Asvins' Speech have I
   awoke.
  Thou, Goddess, hast disclosed the hymn and holy gift from
   mortal men.
2Awake the Asvins, Goddess Dawn! Up, mighty Lady of Sweet
  Strains!
  Rise straightway, priest of sacrifice! High glory to the glad-
   dening draught!
3Thou, Dawn, approaching with thy light, shinest together with
   the Sun, p. 378
  And to this man-protecting home the chariot of the Asvins
   comes.
4When 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.
5Forward for glory and for strength, protection that shall con-
   quer men,
  And power and skill, most sapient Ones!
6When, Asvins worthy of our lauds, ye seat you in the father's
   house.
  With wisdom or the bliss ye bring.
