Kapali Shastri

Translation

Tr. Drink the honied Soma in season, O Ashwins of bright flame, pure-actioned, bringers of sacrifice.

Commentary

aś vinā O Ashwins; stunā according to the divine timing; madhu sweet Soma; pibatam drink; of what kind ? didyagni they whose is the blazing bowl (the root div is repeated, Vedic form); the passage in the Aitareya Brahmana, 'Ashwins, verily, the physicians of the Gods, the priest Ashwins provide the heat, establishes the churning of fire by the Ashwins; elsewhere in the Rik Samhita (10.24.4) there is the Mantra of Rishi Vimada which means the lauded Ashwins, mutually together, churned the Agni; if the purport is made according to the inner meaning, the word-sense of didyagni in the Mantra becomes delightful; the function of the Ashwins has been stated in the first Section, the term didyagni has been used only once in the Rik Samhita ; it is used elsewhere once in the Valakhilya Hymns; in both the places it qualifies the Ashwins ; sucivratā of pure action ; yajñavāhasā bringers of sacrifice.
