Recitation with translationRig Veda 1.166.5

yat tveṣa-yāmā nadayanta parvatān divo vā pṛṣṭhaṃ naryā acucyavuḥ | viśvo vo ajman bhayate vanaspatiḥ rathiyantīva pra jihīte oṣadhiḥ ||

നിങ്ങളുടെ ദീപ്തവും വേഗവുമായ പാച്ചിലിൽ നിങ്ങൾ പർവ്വതങ്ങളെ ഗർജിപ്പിക്കുന്നു; നര്യ (വീര) ശക്തികളാൽ ദ്യൗഃയുടെ പൃഷ്ഠം—ആകാശത്തിന്റെ പിറകു—പോലും ഇളക്കുന്നു. അപ്പോൾ നിങ്ങളുടെ അജ്മൻ (ധാവ/പ്രേരണം) മൂലം എല്ലാ വനസ്പതിയും ഭയപ്പെടുന്നു; ഔഷധികൾ രഥങ്ങളുടെ പാച്ചിലിന് കീഴിലായതുപോലെ കുനിയുന്നു.
