Introduction

prātar yujā, etc. begins the fifth hymn, of twenty one Riks, in the fifth Section. The Rishi and the metre are as before. The particular deities will become clear then and there in the course of the commentary.

Translation

Tr. Awake the Ashvins who join at morn; may they come hither to drink the Soma.

Commentary

In this hymn the first four Riks are devoted to the Ashvins. prātaryujā conjoined in the morning at the beginning of the sacrifice (at the morning libation, in the external sense), come together (joined in the morning, prātar yunjāte, therefore prātaryujau); aśvinau Ashvin Gods; vibodhaya awake them; this direction is to oneself; thus too says Skandasvamin. This is to oneself only because of the direction of the inner self; or of Agni as he is the hotr; awakened, both of them iha to the sacrifice; āgacchatam may they come; why? asya of this pressed out; somasya pitaye to drink the Soma.

The Ashvins spoken of before are familiar to us.
