प्रा॒त॒र्यावा॑णा प्रथ॒मा य॑जध्वं पु॒रा गृध्रा॒दर॑रुषः पिबातः । प्रा॒तर्हि य॒ज्ञम॒श्विना॑ द॒धाते॒ प्र शं॑सन्ति क॒वयः॑ पूर्व॒भाजः॑
prātaryāvāṇā prathamā yajadhvaṃ purā gṛdhrādararuṣaḥ pibātaḥ prātarhi yajñamaśvinā dadhāte pra śaṃsanti kavayaḥ pūrvabhājaḥ
At morning offer the foremost oblation; before the town the greedy eagle drinks. In the morning the Ashvins prepare the sacrifice; poets of old praise the prime share.
Worship the two who come first (of the gods) at dawn; let them drink before the greedy withholders (of the offering); for the Aśvins verily claim the morning sacrifice; the ardent sages praised them (at dawn).
FIRST worship those who come at early morning: let the Twain drink before the giftless niggard. The Asvins claim the sacrifice at daybreak: the sages yielding the first share extol them.
