उ॒त स्म॒ सद्म॑ हर्य॒तस्य॑ प॒स्त्यो॒३रत्यो॒ न वाजं॒ हरि॑वां अचिक्रदत्। म॒ही चि॒द्धि धि॒षणाह॑र्य॒दोज॑सा बृ॒हद् वयो॑ दधिषे हर्य॒तश्चि॒दा

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.31.5

utá smá sádma haryatásya pastyóḥ rathyó ná vājáṃ hárivā́n acikradat | mahī́ cíd dhí dhiṣáṇā haryatójasā bṛhád váyo dadhíṣe haryatáś cid ā́

Yea, verily, in the abode of the Tawny One, in the two homes, Harivant cried aloud for strength as a chariot-man for the prize. For great indeed is Inspiration with tawny vigor: broad vital power thou settest here—tawny, desirable—unto us.

हरिवंत ने भगवान के घर में ज़ोर से पुकारा। वो ताकत माँग रहा था, जैसे कोई रेस में जीतना चाहता है। भगवान की शक्ति बहुत बड़ी है। उनकी एनर्जी चमक रही है। वो हमें भी यह ताकत देंगे। यह ताकत हमारे लिए अच्छी है और हमें मिलती रहेगी।
