Sukta 87

इ॒हैवैधि॒ माप॑ च्योष्ठाः॒ पर्व॑त इ॒वावि॑चाचलत्। इन्द्र॑ इवे॒ह ध्रु॒वस्ति॑ष्ठे॒ह रा॒ष्ट्रमु॑ धारय

Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 6.87.2

iháivédhi mā́pa cyóṣṭhāḥ párvata ivā́vicācalat | índra ivehá dhruvás tiṣṭhehá rāṣṭrám úd dhāraya

Here, even here, do thou prosper; slip not away. Like a mountain, unshaken: like Indra, stand thou firm here, and here uphold the kingdom.

هنا، نعم هنا أيضًا، فلتزدهر ولتنمُ؛ لا تنزلق ولا تبتعد. ثابتًا غير متزعزع كالجبل؛ وكإندرا، قِفْ راسخًا هنا، وهنا اسندْ المملكة.
