Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 10.5.37

sū́ryasyā́vṛtam anvā́varte dákṣiṇām anvā́vṛtam | sā́ me dráviṇaṃ yacchatu sā́ me brāhmaṇavarcásam ||

Following the Sun’s ordered revolution it comes round—following the revolution, the Dakṣiṇā. Let her bestow on me wealth; let her bestow on me brahmanic splendour.

सूरज की चाल के पीछे पीछे चलते हैं। दक्षिणा भी उसी रास्ते पे चलती है। वो मुझे धन दे और पंडित जैसी चमक दे।
