Recitation with translationRig Veda 8.9.19

yád āpī́tāso aṃśávo gā́vo ná duhrá ū́dhabhiḥ | yád vā vāṇī́r anū́ṣata prá devayánto aśvínā ||

പൂർണ്ണമായി നിറഞ്ഞ കിരണങ്ങൾ, പശുക്കൾ തങ്ങളുടെ അകിടുകളിൽ നിന്ന് പാലൊഴുക്കുന്നതുപോലെ, പ്രസ്രവിക്കുമ്പോൾ; ദേവയന്തർ (ദേവന്മാരെ ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നവർ) പ്രതികരണമായി വാണികളെ മുഴക്കുമ്പോൾ—അപ്പോൾ, ഹേ അശ്വിന്മാരേ, (നിങ്ങളുടെ സഹായത്തോടെ വരുവിൻ).
