Sukta 4
वृषा मतीनां पवते विचक्षणः सूरो अह्नां प्रतरीतोषसां दिवः । प्राणः सिन्धूनां कलशाँ अचिक्रददिन्द्रस्य हार्दिमाविशन् मनीषया
vṛ́ṣā matīnā́ṃ pavate vicakṣaṇáḥ sū́ro ahnā́ṃ pratarītóṣasāṃ diváḥ | prāṇáḥ síndhūnāṃ kaláśāṃ acikradad índrasya hā́rdim āviśán manīṣáyā
The Bull of thoughts is purified, the clear-sighted; a Sun of days, prevailing through the dawns of heaven. The Breath of rivers hath cried aloud into the jars, entering with wise intent into Indra’s heart.
ثورُ الأفكارِ يُنقّى، ذو البصيرةِ النافذة؛ شمسٌ للأيام، غالبٌ عبر فجراتِ السماء. وبرَانَا (prāṇa) الأنهارِ قد صاحَ عالياً في الجرار، داخلاً—بقصدٍ حكيم—إلى قلبِ إندرا.
