Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.100.2

vā́rṇa tvā yavyā́bhir várdhanti śūra bráhmāṇi | vāvṛdhvā́ṃsaṃ cid adrivo divédive ||

The prayers, O hero, strengthen thee with supplications—yea, thee already waxing strong, O stone-bearer—day after day.

यह प्रार्थना तुम्हे स्ट्रॉन्ग बना रही है, वीर। जैसे बच्चा माँगता है, वैसे ही यह भी तुम्हारे लिए है। तुम तो पहले से ही ताकतवर हो, पत्थर उठाने वाले। दिन भर यह शक्ति तुम्हारे पास आती रहे।
