Recitation with translationRig Veda 5.54.4

vy àktūn rudrā́ vy áhāni śíkvaso vy àntárikṣaṃ ví rájāṃsi dhūtáyaḥ | ví yád ájrān ájatha nā́va īṃ yáthā ví dúrgāṇi maruto nā́ha riṣyatha ||

Ihr Rudras, die Kundigen, breitet die Nächte aus, breitet die Tage aus; ihr schüttelt den Mittelraum und die Weiten. Wenn ihr die ungebrochenen Flächen vorantreibt wie ein Boot durch die Wasser, durchfahrt ihr die schwierigen Durchgänge, o Maruts, ohne Schaden und ohne Fehl.
