What happens in this chapter
The Ashvins in a garland of similes
Bhutamsha Kashyapa praises the Ashvins in trishtubh, and nearly every line is a simile in the dual. The twin Devas spread out thoughts as weavers spread cloth. They are like two camels, two envoys famed among men, two buffaloes at the drinking place, the two wings of a bird, two fires of the devout, a father and son, two kings, two friends true to Rita. They are like feet that find a ford in deep water, like ears that hear. Many of the rare words are hard to read. The rishi asks them to come on one chariot to this mantra and says Bhutamsha has fulfilled the Ashvins' wish.
