Recitation with translationRig Veda 5.12.4

ké te agne ripáve bándhanāsaḥ ké pā́yavaḥ saniṣanta dyu-mántaḥ | ké dhā́sím agne anṛtásya pānti ká āsato vácasaḥ santi gopā́ḥ ||

Wer sind sie, o Agni, die dir den Feind in Fesseln legen? Wer sind die leuchtenden Hüter, die den Gewinn erringen? Wer schützt, o Agni, deinen Anteil vor der Anṛta, dem Unwahren? Wer sind die Hirten des Wortes, die als Wächter das Wort behüten vor der Lüge?
