Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.126.5

priyā́ taṣṭā́ni me kapír vyàktā ví adūdūṣat | śíro nv asyá rāv́iṣaṁ ná sugáṁ duṣkṛ́te bhúvaṁ víśvasmād índra úttaraḥ

Dear things, well-fashioned for me, the Ape—made manifest—hath scattered forth. Now have I made his head to cry aloud: no easy passage be there for the evil-doer; Indra is superior unto all.

Perkara-perkara yang aku kasihi, yang ditatah elok untukku, Sang Kapi (Ape)—yang telah nyata—telah diselerakkannya. Kini aku membuat kepalanya menjerit nyaring: jangan ada laluan mudah bagi si pembuat dosa; Indra mengatasi semuanya.
