Footnote: अश्विनौ has been explained variously in the Nirukta (2.1.1) as द्यावापृथिव्यौ, सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ, अहोरात्री, देवानां भिषजौ (निरु. १२.१.१) The husband and wife have been compared in the Vedas themselves to the sun and the earth द्यौरहं पृथिवी त्वम् (अथर्व १४.२७१ ) so it is clear that the word Ashvinau can very well be used for husband and wife who are like the sky and the earth or like the sun and the moon. The adjectives श्येनपत्वा मर्त्यस्य मनसो जवीयान् वातरंहा: clearly denote that the. रथ or car referred to is not ordinary chariot, but one like the aircraft, swift like the mind of a man, swift like the wind. Prof. Wilson has translated श्येनपत्वा as Swift as a hawk मर्त्यस्य मनसो जवीयान् is translated by Prof. Wilson as "As quick as the mind of man' and by Griffith as 'Swifter than the mind of mortal वातरंहा: has been translated as 'rapid as the wind by Prof. Wilson and by Griffith "fleet as the wind त्निबन्धुर: has been rendered into English by Griffith as "Three-seated. These adjectives justify Rishi Dayananda Sarasvati's interpretation as given above, though some Western Scholars may not understand or admit it. Even Sayanacharya has given the alternative meaning of श्येन as पक्षी or bird.
