Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.121.2

IAST Transliteration

ná tvā-vā́n anyó divyó ná pārthivó ná jātó ná janiṣyate | aśvāyánto maghavan índra vājíno gavyántaḥ tvā havāmahe

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

None other, heavenly or earthly, is like unto thee; none hath been born, nor shall be born. Seeking horses, O bounteous Indra, seeking the prize and seeking cattle, we call on thee.

Translation

നിനക്കു തുല്യൻ മറ്റാരുമില്ല—ദിവ്യനോ ഭൂമിയിലേതോ അല്ല; ആരും ജനിച്ചിട്ടില്ല, ജനിക്കയും ഇല്ല. ഹേ ദാനശീലനായ ഇന്ദ്ര, കുതിരകൾ തേടി, വാജം (വിജയ-ധനം/പുരസ്കാരം) തേടി, പശുക്കൾ തേടി ഞങ്ങൾ നിന്നെ ആഹ്വാനം ചെയ്യുന്നു.
