     युवं ह घर्मं मधुमन्तमत्रयेऽपो न क्षोदोऽवृणीतमेषे ।
     तद्वां नरावश्विना पश्वइष्टी रथ्येव चक्रा प्रति यन्ति मध्वः ॥

     yuvaṃ ha gharmaṃ madhumantamatrayeʼpo na kṣodoʼvṛṇītameṣe.
     tadvāṃ narāvaśvinā paśvaïṣṭī rathyeva cakrā prati yanti madhvaḥ.

     Fire-offering thence is yours, O Aśvins, Heroes: your car-wheels speed to us like springs of honey.
