Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 5.25.10

dhātáḥ śréṣṭhena rūpéṇāsyā́ nā́ryā gavīnyóḥ | púmāṃsaṃ putrám ā́ dhehi daśamé mā́si sūtáve ||

O Dhātṛ, with thy most excellent form, within this woman—these cow-like sources of increase—implant a manly son, that in the tenth month she may bring him forth.

हे धात, तू सबसे बड़ा है। इस औरत के अंदर एक बेटा दे। वो बेटा दसवें महीने में पैदा हो। यह औरत गाय जैसी है, बच्चे देने वाली है। तू उसे एक स्ट्रॉन्ग बेटा दे।
