Recitation with translationRig Veda 1.161.13

suṣu-pvā́ṃsa ṛ́bhavas tád apṛcchatāgóhya ká idáṃ no abū́budhat | śvā́naṃ bastó bodhayitā́ram abravīt saṃvatsará idám adyā́ vyàkhyat ||

ഗാഢനിദ്രയിൽ മുങ്ങിയിരുന്ന ഋഭുക്കൾ ചോദിച്ചു: “ഹേ ഗൂഹ്യ (മറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നവനേ), ഇതിനെ ഞങ്ങൾക്കായി ആരാണ് ഉണർത്തിയത്?” ബസ്താ നായയെ ഉണർത്തുന്നവൻ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു; എന്നാൽ ഇന്ന് സംവത്സരൻ—വർഷം, കാലം—തന്നെ അത് വെളിപ്പെടുത്തി: പാകമായ സമയത്ത് ജ്ഞാനം തുറക്കുന്നവൻ കാലം തന്നെയാണ്.
