Recitation with translationRig Veda 2.5.4

sākáṃ hí śúcinā śúciḥ praśāstā́ kratúnā́jani | vidvā́ṃ asya vratā́ dhruvā́ vayā́ ivā́nu rohate ||

कारण शुचिसह शुचि होऊन, क्रतु (संकल्प-शक्ती) यांच्या बळाने तो प्रशस्त, विद्वान मार्गदर्शक जन्मास येतो. त्याची ध्रुव व्रते (स्थिर नियम) जाणून तो त्यांच्या मागोमाग, आपल्या वाटांवर उडणाऱ्या पक्ष्यासारखा, सुव्यवस्थित पायऱ्यांनी उन्नतीकडे आरोहण करीत जातो.
