Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 3.6.4

yáḥ sahámānaś cárasi sāsahāná iva ṛṣabháḥ | ténāśvattha tváyā vayáṁ sapátnān sahiṣīmahi

Thou who, prevailing, movest abroad, as one all-conquering, like a bull: with that thy conquering might, O Aśvattha, with thee as aid, may we subdue our rivals.

ഹേ അശ്വത്ഥ! നീ സഹമാനനായി എല്ലാടവും സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്നു, സർവ്വം ജയിക്കുന്നവനെപ്പോലെ, ഋഷഭത്തെപ്പോലെ. നിന്റെ ആ ജയശക്തിയാൽ, നിന്നെ സഹായമായി കരുതി, ഞങ്ങൾ സപത്നന്മാരെ (വൈരികളെ) കീഴടക്കട്ടെ.
