1. What (worshipper), O leaders of rites, and where (abiding) glorifies for his good, by his praise at the rite, your radiant moving chariot, going (to the sacrifice) at dawn, all-pervading, and bearing (wealth) day after day to one man after another?

2. Where are you, Asvins, by night? Where are you by day? Where do you sojourn? Where do you dwell? Who brings you into his presence in the same place (of sacrifice) as on her couch a window (brings) her husbands brother, as a woman (brings) her husband (to her).

3. Leaders (of rites), you are glorified at dawn like trryo ancient (monarchs) by the voice (of the caller): entitled to worship, you go day by day to the dwelling (of the worshipper): of whose (faults) are you the destroyer? To whose oblations do you repair like princes?
Like two ancient ...caller- Sayana explains jaranau as "two kings, old or great by sovereignty," and kapayd as "the song of the bard or herald, who awakens (a great man) at dawn.”

4. Like persons hunting two wild elephants, we praise you, Asvins, with oblations night and day: at all due seasons, leaders (of rites), (the worshipper) offers you the oblation: do you, who are rulers of the shining (rain), bring food to mankind.
Hunting two wild elephants- Sayana’s explanation is strange, hunting two elephants like tigers, "

6. Sage Asvins, stand by your chariot; make it approach (the sacrifice) of the worshipper, as Kutsa (made his chariot approach) men, the fly carries your honey, Asvins, in its mouth as a woman caries purified (honey).
As Kutsa ...Men- Sayana takes no notice of visah, but has merely "as Kutsa and Indra ride in the same chariot.”
As a woman etc. - [Sayana cites Rg i. 119. 2]

7. You came, Asvins, to the rescue of Bhujyu, you came to the rescue of vasa, and you came to Sinjara to (hear) his desirable (praise): the offerer of oblations besieges your friendship; and I desire happiness through your protection.
Sinjara- (Sayana cites viii. 5. 25. He says here the Sinjara was an Atri, and that the Asvins came to rescue him from a fire-pit.)

8. Verily, Asvins, you protect the feeble man: you protected Sayu: you protect him who worships according to rule, and the widow, (Vadhrimati); you set open, O Asvins, for the donors of oblations the seven mouthed thundering cloud.
The Feeble man- [Or Krsa (a proper name).]
The seven-mouthed- Saptasyam is literally seven- mouthed, but the Scholiast seems to understand by it, traving shifting doors or openings, "sarpanasiladvdram; according to the Scholiast, Ghosa, having become eligible as a wife, here expresses her desire for a husband.

10. The husbands who weep for the life (of their wives), make them sit down at the sacrifice, hold in a long embrace, (and) send the Pitrs this desirable offspring, upon these husbands the wives (bestow) happiness in order to be embraced.
Weep for the life of their lives- Jivam rudanti is literally "they weep for the living.”Sayana explains it as "weep for the life (of their wives,)" by their very weeping they desire to (pray for) their wives lives."
