Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 7.25.2

yásyedáṃ pradíśi yád virócate prá cā́nati ví ca cáṣṭe śácībhiḥ | púrá devásya dhármaṇā sáhobhir víṣṇum agan váruṇaṃ pū́rvahūtiḥ

Whose is this that in the quarters shineth out, that goeth forth and, wide-dispersed, beholdeth with his powers; of old, by the god’s ordinance, with his strengths—unto Viṣṇu and Varuṇa hath the ancient invocation gone forth.

ആരുടേതാണ് ഇത്—ദിക്കുകളിൽ പ്രകാശിക്കുന്നതും മുന്നോട്ട് പോകുന്നതും, വ്യാപകമായി പരന്നു തന്റെ ശക്തികളാൽ എല്ലാടവും കാണുന്നതും; പുരാതനകാലത്ത് ദേവന്റെ ധർമ്മം (വിധി-നിയമം) അനുസരിച്ച്, തന്റെ സഹോബലങ്ങളാൽ—വിഷ്ണുവിലേക്കും വരുണനിലേക്കും പുരാതന ആഹ്വാനം (പൂർവഹൂതി) പുറപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.
