HYMN CXXXIX

A hymn to the Asvins 1. To help and favour Vatsa now, O Asvins, come ye hitherward.   Bestow on him a dwelling spacious and secure, and keep malig-    nites afar. 2. All manliness that is in heaven, with the Five Tribes, or in mid-    air,   Bestow, ye Asvins, upon us. 3. Remember Kārnva first of all among the singers,, Asvins, who   Have thought upon your wondrous deeds. 4. Asvins, for you with song of praise this hot oblation is effused,   This your sweet Soma juice, ye Lords of wealth and spoil,    through which ye think upon the foe. 5. Whatever ye have done in floods, in the tree, Wonder-workers,    and in growing plants,   Therewith, O Asvins, succour me.
