Also known as Aśvinau

The Ashvins (, ), also known as the Ashvini Kumaras and Asvinau, are Vedic twin gods, namely Nāsatya () and Dasra (). They are associated with medicine, health, healing, sciences, and the twilight. In the Rigveda, they are described as youthful divine twin horsemen, travelling in a chariot drawn by horses that are never weary, and portrayed as guardian deities that safeguard and rescue people by aiding them in various situations.
