RV 9 (8)

Rig Veda · translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith

2 The truthful Deities, the Three−and−Thirty, saw you approach before the Ever−Truthful. 3 Asvins, that work of yours deserves our wonder,−the Bull of heaven and earth and air's mid region; 4 Here is your portion laid for you, ye Holy: come to these songs of ours, O ye Nasatyas.
