They uncover the immortals for mortals; making companions alike, they gave the pair to the radiant one. The Aśvins bore them away; thus they were placed as two yoked chariots.
The gods concealing the immortal (Sarṇyū) for th esake of mortals and having formed her, gave herto Vivasvat. She bore the two Aśvins when this had happened and then Saraṇyū gave birth to two twins.
From mortal men they hid the Immortal Lady, made one like her and gave her to Vivasvan. Saranyu brought to him the Asvin brothers, and then deserted both twinned pairs of children.
