1Vayu collected these: to find their sustenance be Tvashtar's care: May Indra bless and comfort them, and Rudra look that they increase. 2Take thou the iron axe and make a pair by marks upon their ears. This sign the Asvins have impressed: let these increase and multiply. 3Even as Gods and Asuras, even as mortal men have done, Do ye, that these may multiply in thousands, Asvins! make the mark.
