Recitation with translationRig Veda 1.140.2

abhi dvi-janmā tri-vṛd annam ṛjyate saṃvatsare vāvṛdhe jagdham īm punaḥ | anyasyā sā jihvayā jenyo vṛṣā ny anyena vanino mṛṣṭa vāraṇaḥ ||

இருமுறை பிறந்தவன் (த்விஜன்மா) மும்மடங்கு அன்னத்திற்காக அழுத்தப்பட்டு ஒழுங்குபடுத்தப்படுகிறான்; ஆண்டுச் சுழற்சியில் உண்டது கழிந்தபின் மீண்டும் வளர்கிறான். ஒரு வாய்-நாவால் வெற்றியாளர் வृषபன் ரசத்தைச் சுவைக்கிறான்; மற்றொன்றால் நாடுபவர்களைத் தூய்மைப்படுத்துகிறான்—வலிமைமிக்க வாரணன், பரிசுத்தமானவன்।
