What happens in this chapter
Krishna calls the Ashvins to Soma
Krishna Angirasa calls the Nasatyas, the two Ashvins, and every verse ends with the same invitation: to drink the honeyed Soma. Come to my call, hear this praise of mine. Here is Krishna calling you, rich in prizes; hear the singer Krishna as he praises you. Give the praising seer a shelter that cannot be harmed. Go to the house of the giver who praises you so. Yoke the ass to your strong-limbed chariot, and come in your chariot with three seats and three wheels. The last verse asks the Ashvins to favour these songs now.
