Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.52.2

sváranti tvā suté náro váso niréka ukthínaḥ | kadā sutáṃ tṛṣāṇá óka ā́ gama índra svabdī́va váṃsagaḥ ||

The men, the Uktha-chanters, cry aloud to thee at the Soma pressed, O bounteous one, with no reserve. When, thirsting for the pressed draught, wilt thou come homeward to our house, O Indra, well-armed, winner of the prize?

హే వసు (ఉదార) ఇంద్రా! సోమం పిండినప్పుడు ఉక్థ-గాయకులైన నరులు ఏ దాచుడూ లేకుండా నిన్ను గట్టిగా పిలుస్తారు. పిండిన పానీయానికి తృష్ణతో, హే ఇంద్రా, సుసజ్జిత ఆయుధధారివి, బహుమతి-విజేతవీ! నీవు ఎప్పుడు మా గృహ-ఆశ్రయానికి వస్తావు?
