Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.21.2

duró áśvasya durá índra góḥ asi duró yávasya vásūnām ínaḥ-pátiḥ | śikṣānáraḥ pradívo ákāmakarṣaṇaḥ sákhā sákhíbhyas tám idáṃ gṛṇīmasi ||

A door of the horse art thou, O Indra, a door of the cow; a door of barley, lord of riches, master of force. Teaching men, from lofty heaven, drawing at will—friend unto friends, thee with this we hymn.

ഹേ ഇന്ദ്രാ, നീ കുതിരയുടെ വാതിൽ, നീ പശുവിന്റെ വാതിൽ; നീ യവത്തിന്റെ വാതിൽ—വസുക്കളുടെ സ്വാമി, ബലത്തിന്റെ അധിപതി. മനുഷ്യരെ ശിക്ഷിക്കുന്നവൻ, ഉയർന്ന സ്വർഗത്തിൽ നിന്ന്, ഇച്ഛാനുസാരം ആകർഷിക്കുന്നവൻ; സുഹൃത്തുകൾക്ക് സുഹൃത്ത്—നിന്നെയേ ഈ സ്തുതിയാൽ ഞങ്ങൾ പാടുന്നു.
