2 Asvins, ye gained that glory by your Godhead, ye Sons of Heaven, by your own might and power. 3 Who bringeth you to−day for help with offered oblation, or with hymns to drink the juices? 4 Borne on your golden car, ye omnipresent! come to this sacrifice of ours, Nasatyas. 5 Come hitherward to us from earth, from heaven, borne on your golden chariot rolling lightly. 6 Now for us both, mete out, O WonderWorkers, riches exceeding great with store of heroes, 7 Whene'er I gratified you here together, your grace was given us, O ye rich in booty.RV 44 (3) · Rig Veda · null

Saturnia lends the lash; the coursers fly; Smooth glides the chariot through the liquid sky. Heaven’s gates spontaneous open to the powers, Heaven’s golden gates, kept by the winged Hours. Commission’d in alternate watch they stand, The sun’s bright portals and the skies command; Close, or unfold, the eternal gates of day Bar heaven with clouds, or roll those clouds away. The sounding hinges ring, the clouds divide. Prone down the steep of heaven their course they guide. But Jove, incensed, from Ida’s top survey’d, And thus enjoin’d the many-colour’d maid.Iliad 8.29 · Iliad · 8
