Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 4.24.3

yáś carṣaṇiprò vṛṣabháḥ svàrvid yásmai grā́vāṇaḥ pravádanti nṛ́mṇam | yásyādhvaráḥ saptáhotā mádiṣṭhaḥ sá no muñcatv áṃhásaḥ ||

He, leader of the peoples, the Bull, the winner of the heavenly light—for whom the pressing-stones proclaim aloud heroic might; whose sacrifice, with seven Hotṛs, is most inspiriting—let him release us from affliction and from sin.

वो लोगों का लीडर है, बैल जैसा ताकतवाला, आसमान की रोशनी पाने वाला। उसकी ताकत की सब तारीफ करते हैं। उसकी पूजा में सात लोग शामिल होते हैं। वो हमें तकलीफ और पाप से छुटकारा दिलाए।
