Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 4.11.9

yó védānaḍúho dóhān saptā́nupadasvataḥ | prajā́ṃ ca lokáṃ cā́pnoti táthā saptarṣáyo vidúḥ ||

Whoso knoweth the draught-ox’ seven yieldings, in ordered sequence step by step, he winneth progeny and winneth a world: thus have the Seven Seers known.

जो इंसान इस बैल के सात रास्ते जानता है, एक-एक करके, वो दोनों पाता है, औलाद और एक अच्छी दुनिया। सात रिशियों को भी यह बात पता थी।
