Recitation with translationRig Veda 2.16.7

prá te nā́vaṃ ná sámane vacasyúvaṃ bráhmaṇā yā́mi sávaneṣu dā́dhṛṣiḥ | kuvín no asyá vácaso nibódhiṣad índram utsáṃ ná vásunaḥ sicāmahe ||

كقاربٍ للعبور آتي إليك بالكلمةِ المتشوِّفة إلى النطق، وبـ«البَرَهْمَن» (المانترا)، في معاصر السُّوما، أيها الثابت. لعلّه يلتفت حقًّا إلى قولنا هذا؛ ولعلّنا نصبُّ إندرا كعينٍ فوّارةٍ للغنى.
