Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 4.25.6

prá sumatíṁ savitar vā́ya ūtáye máhasvantaṁ matsaráṁ mādayāthaḥ | arvā́g vā́masya praváto ní yacchatáṁ táu no muñcatam áṁhasaḥ ||

Forth for our aid, O Savitar and Vāyu, do ye quicken good favor, rich in greatness; make ardor to exult. Hither, from the streaming course of your boon, do ye guide it down and hold it fast: do ye release us from distress.

لِعَوْنِنا، يا سافيتار ويا فايُو، أَثِيرا حُسْنَ الرِّضا الغنيَّ بالعظمة؛ واجعلا الحماسةَ تَفْرَحُ وتَبْتَهِج. وإلى هنا، من مجرى عطائكما الجاري، أَنْزِلاه وامسِكاه ثابتًا: وأَطْلِقانا من الضيق.
