Purport [भावार्थ - स्वामी दयानन्द] - God instructs in this Mantra the means of the Science of arts and crafts, so that with the manufacture of various machines, men may enjoy happiness by making aero planes and other conveyances for their own as well as for others' benefit. Authorities quoted by the Commentator regarding the meanings of the अश्विनौ as जलाग्नी water and fire etc. या सुरथा॑ र॒थीत॑म॒नो॒भा देवा दि॑वि॒स्पृशा। अश्विना ता हवामहे ।। न॒हि वा॒मिस्त॑ दूर॒के यत्रा रथेन गच्छ॑थः ॥ Rig.1.22.2-4 In these Mantras, it is said about the Ashvinau that with their help, one can travel very far on earth and also in the sky through the conveyances like aero planes etc. It is clear that by Ashvinau here fire and water are meant. In Nirukta 12. 1 Yaskacharya has given several meanings of Ashvinau as (1) The earth and the sky, (2) The sun and moon, (3) Day and night, (4) Expert physicians etc. In Nighantu 5.1 Ashvinau has been enumerated among पदनामसु by which are meant according to पगतौ गते त्रयोऽर्था ज्ञानं गमनं प्राप्तिश्च i. e. the means of quick movement and attainment of happiness. Therefore in this Mantra the meaning of the Ashvinau is taken as जलाग्नी, ie the water and Agni (fire, electricity etc.)
