Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.12.3

yujé ráthaṃ gavéṣaṇaṃ háribhyām úpa bráhmāṇi jujuṣāṇám asthuḥ | ví bādhiṣṭa sya ródasī mahitvéndrò vṛtrā́ṇy apratī́ jaghánvān

To yoke the chariot, booty-seeking, with the two Bays, the prayers stood near him, gladly accepting. By his greatness he forced apart the two worlds: Indra, irresistible, having slain the Vṛtras.

రెండు హరి (అశ్వాలు) తో ధన/లాభాన్వేషి రథాన్ని యోకించుటకు, ప్రార్థనలు (బ్రహ్మాణి) ఆయన సమీపంలో నిలిచాయి—ఆనందంగా ఆయనను స్వీకరిస్తూ. తన మహిమచేత ఆయన రెండు లోకాలను (రోదసీ) విడదీశాడు; అప్రతిహతుడైన ఇంద్రుడు వృత్రులను సంహరించాడు.
