Sage Mahatapa in the Varah Puranas tells us how both the Ashwini kumars manifested themselves. The Ashvins or Ashwini Kumaras (Sanskrit: अश्विन aśvin-, dual aśvinau), in Hindu mythology, are divine twin horsemen in the Rigveda, sons of Saranya (daughter of vishwakarma), a goddess of the clouds and wife of Surya in his form as Vivasvat. The Ashvins are Vedic gods symbolising the shining of sunrise and sunset, appearing in the sky before the dawn in a golden chariot, bringing treasures to men and averting misfortune and sickness. The Ashvins are mentioned 376 times in the Rigveda, with 57 hymns specifically dedicated to them: 1.3, 1.22, 1.34, 1.46-47, 1.112, 1.116-120 (c.f. Vishpala), 1.157-158, 1.180-184, 2.20, 3.58, 4.43-45, 5.73-78, 6.62-63, 7.67-74, 8.5, 8.8-10, 8.22, 8.26, 8.35, 8.57, 8.73, 8.85-87, 10.24, 10.39-41, 10.143. The older name of the asterism, found in the Atharvaveda (AVS 19.7; in the dual) and in Panini(4.3.36), was aśvayúj "harnessing horses". Ashvini Kumaras, the golden armored horse headed twins of ancient Vedic lore, performed many miracles as physicians of the celestial gods.
