Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 6.89.2

IAST Transliteration

śocayāmasi te hārdíṁ śocayāmasi te mánaḥ | vā́taṁ dhūmá iva sadhryàṅ mā́m evā́nv etu te mánaḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

We cause thy heart’s distress to waste away; we cause thy mind’s distress to waste away. As smoke goes with the wind straight onward, so—yea, to me—let thy mind follow.

Translation

నీ హృదయపు శోకాన్ని మేము క్షీణింపజేస్తాము; నీ మనస్సు శోకాన్ని మేము క్షీణింపజేస్తాము. పొగ గాలితో నేరుగా ముందుకు పోవునట్లు, అలాగే—అవును, నాదగ్గరకే—నీ మనస్సు నన్ను అనుసరించుగాక.
