Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 7.17.4

dhā́tā rātíḥ savité́daṁ juṣántāṁ prajā́patir nídhipatir no agníḥ | tváṣṭā víṣṇuḥ prajā́yā saṁrarāṇó yajámānāya dráviṇaṁ dadhātu

May Dhātṛ and the Gift, may Savitṛ take pleasure in this; may Prajāpati, the Lord of treasure, our Agni. Tvaṣṭṛ and Viṣṇu, rejoicing together with progeny, bestow upon the sacrificer substance and wealth.

Niech Dhatri i Dar, niech Sawitri znajdą upodobanie w tym; niech Prajapati, Pan skarbu, nasz Agni. Twasztr i Wisznu, radując się razem z potomstwem, niech obdarzą ofiarodawcę majątkiem i bogactwem.
