Griffith, [1896]\n1. FIRST worship those who come at early morning: let the Twain drink before the giftless niggard.\n The A\u015bvins claim the sacrifice at daybreak: the sages yielding the first share extol them.\n 2 Worship at dawn and instigate the A\u015bvins: nor is the worshipper at eve rejected.\n Besides ourselves another craves and worships: each first in worship is most highly favoured.\n 3 Covered with gold, meath-tinted, dropping fatness, your chariot with its freight of food comes hither,\n Swift as thought, A\u015bvins, rapid as the tempest, wherewith ye travel over all obstructions.\n 4 He who hath served most often the N\u0101satyas, and gives the sweetest food at distribution,\n Furthers with his own holy works his offspring, and ever passes those whose flames ascend not.\n 5 May we obtain the A\u015bvins' newest favour, and gain their health-bestowing happy guidance.\n Bring riches hither unto us, and heroes, and all felicity and joy, Immortals!","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN LXXVII.
