Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 3.29.2

sárvān kā́mān pūrayaty ábhavan prabhávan bhávan | ākūti-pró ’vír dattáḥ śití-pān nópa dasyati ||

Fulfilling all desires—becoming, prevailing, abiding—the sheep, intention-impelled, when given, the white-footed, doth not assail (us).

यह भेड़ सब काम पूरी करता है। पैदल होता है, बड़ा होता है, टिकता है। यह भेड़ इरादे के साथ चलता है। जब इसको दान किया जाता है, यह हमें तकलीफ नहीं देता। इसके पाँव साफ सफेद हैं।
