Recitation with translationRig Veda 5.83.3

rathī́va kaśáyā́śvāṃ abhikṣipánn āvír dūtā́n kṛṇute varṣyā́ṃ̐ áha | dūrā́t siṃhásya stanáthā́ udī́rate yát parjányáḥ kṛṇuté varṣyàṃ nábhaḥ ||

ରଥୀ ଯେପରି କଶାଦ୍ୱାରା ନିଜ ଅଶ୍ୱମାନଙ୍କୁ ହାଙ୍କେ, ସେପରି ସେ ତାହାମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଗକୁ ଚାଳିଦିଏ; ପ୍ରକାଶରେ ସେ ବର୍ଷାର ଦୂତମାନଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରକଟ କରେ। ଦୂରରୁ ସିଂହର ଗର୍ଜନ ପରି ଗୁଡୁଗୁଡାହଟ ଉଠେ, ଯେତେବେଳେ ପର୍ଜନ୍ୟ ବର୍ଷାଭାରିତ ମେଘକୁ ଗଢ଼େ।
