The quick do not despise our ready offering;

They have been praised, and are now near beside us;

Early and late they hasten to our succour,

The worshippers best friends against all evil.

Come hither then at milking-time, at breakfast,

Come here at noon, and come at sunset also,

By day, by night, come with your happy succour;

Our draught has always brought the Asvins hither.
