Recitation with translationRig Veda 9.83.3

Transliteration

arū́rucad uṣásaḥ pṛ́śnir agriyá ukṣā́ bibharti bhúvanāni vāja-yúḥ | māyāvíno mamire asya māyáyā nṛ-cákṣasaḥ pitáro gárbham ā́ dadhúḥ ||

Translation

المُرَقَّطُ يَتَلَأْلَأُ عند الفجر، أوّلَ المتقدّمين في الصدارة؛ والثورُ الراغبُ في vāja يَسْنُدُ العوالم. وبـmāyāهِ يقيسهُ أصحابُ الرؤية؛ والآباءُ ذوو البصرِ الإنساني يضعون الجنينَ في الداخل—مُثَبِّتينَ فينا لذّةً ستُولَد.
