Recitation with translationRig Veda 2.23.13

Transliteration

bharéṣu hávyo námasopasádyó gántā vā́jeṣu sánitā dhánaṃdhanam | víśvā íd aryó abhídipsvo mṛ́dho bṛ́haspátir ví vavarhā ráthāṃ iva ||

Translation

Jab bhi koi takrar ho, us waqt Brihaspati ko bulao. Usse izzat se paas aao. Woh aata hai jab kuch paana ho, aur baar-baar dhan jeeta hai. Jo log bura irada lekar aate hain, un sab ko Brihaspati door bhaga deta hai, jaise rath aage badhte hain.
