Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.56.4

madé-made hí no dadír yū́thā gávām ṛjú-kratuḥ | sáṃ gṛbhāya púru śatóbhayāhastyā́ vásu śiśī́hi rāyá ā́ bhara ||

In every rapture thou art our giver, of straight resolve, of herds of kine. Grasp thou together wealth abundant, hundredfold with both hands; make keen our gain, and bring hither riches.

हर खुशी में तू हमें देता है। तू सीधा इरादा रखता है और हमारे पास गायें बढ़ाता है। दोनों हाथों से पकड़ के सौ गुना ज़्यादा धन ला। हमारा फायदा तेज़ कर और यहाँ धन-पैसा ले आ।
