(RV 4.45.3)
ā vartinim madhunā jinvathas patho dŗtim vahethe madhumantham ashvinā,
With thy honey you gladden the movements and its paths;
Full of honey, O Ashvins, is the skin that you bear.
Ashvins are the Lords of Bliss. They bring with them the Delight
of the superconscient planes of Truth and seek the Soma, the
delight of life on earth from man. Wherever they go they engage in
this double movement of seeking the honey of Soma and pouring the
honey of Divine Bliss. With this honey of joy they sweeten all the
activities of man, lighten and gladden his labours upward. Their
stock of honey is never exhausted; their container is always full.
(RV 4.45.6)
īyate vishvān anu svadhayā chetathas pathaĥ,
By force of Nature's self-arranging you move consciously along all
paths.
They first manifest on the heights of the purified mind. But they
do not confine themselves to these summits alone. As man proceeds
in his work of integration, harmonising the activities of
different parts of his being, as his many-sided nature falls into
a soul-pattern, the Ashvins move into these regions pouring their
exhilarating currents of Bliss. They extend themselves wider and
wider, leaving no tract outside their attention.
(RV 4.45.7)
pra vām avocham ashvinā
dhiyamdhā rathaĥ
svashvo ajaro yo asti,
yena sadyaĥ pari rajāmsi yātho havişhmantam
taraņim bhojam achchha.
I have declared, O Ashvins, holding the thought in me,
your car that is undecaying and drawn by perfect steeds, your car
by which you
move at once over all the worlds towards the enjoyment
rich in offerings that makes through the goal.
The car of the Ashvins, their ordered movement, drawn by fully
developed powers of life, never decaying, moves over all the
ranges of the being of man. The Ashvin twins overrun the whole,
seeking the delights of each level of existence, accepting the
cream of experience, the rapturous Somas that are distilled,
purified and offered to them.
As a result of this rapid movement and comprehensive working of
the Ashvins, the seeker who has offered himself to them finds his
way to the goal of Truth cleared for him.
