Recitation with translationRig Veda 3.29.6

yádī mánthanti bāhúbhir ví rocate ’śvó na vāj́y aruṣó váneṣv ā́ | citró na yā́mann aśvínor anivṛ́taḥ pári vṛṇakty áśmanaḥ tṛ́ṇā dáhan ||

जब लोग अपने हाथों से आग को हिलाते हैं, वो चमकने लगता है। वो एक तेज़ लाल घोड़े जैसा दिखता है जो जंगल में दौड़ रहा हो। वो ऐसे चलता है जैसे अश्विनी कुमारों का सफ़र, कोई रुकावट नहीं। वो पत्थर जैसी सख्ती और सूखी घास को जला देता है।
