Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.92.19

aṣā́ḷham ugráṁ pṛ́tanāsu sāsahíṁ yásmin mahī́r urujráyaḥ | sáṁ dhénavo jā́yamāne anonavuḥ dyā́vaḥ kṣā́mo anonavuḥ

Invincible, fierce, victorious in battles—he in whom the great wide-striding powers abide: at his birth the milch-cows resounded; heaven and earth resounded.

यह मंत्र एक ऐसी शक्ति की बात करता है जो कभी हार नहीं मानती। जंग में वो दुश्मनों पर भारी रहता है। उसमें बड़ी-बड़ी ताकतें बसती हैं। जब वो पैदा हुआ तो गायें बोली और आसमान-ज़मीन दोनों गूंजे।
