Recitation with translationRig Veda 1.58.2

ā́ svám ádma yuvámāno ájaras tṛ́ṣu aviṣyán atásēṣu tiṣṭhati | átyo na pṛṣṭháṃ pruṣitásya rocate divó na sā́nu stanáyan acikradat ||

అతడు తన స్వధామానికే వస్తాడు—నిత్యయువకుడు, అజరుడు; తృష్ణతో ఉన్న ప్రదేశాలను వేగంగా దాటి, పిండిన (సోమ) మార్గచిహ్నాలలో స్థిరంగా నిలుస్తాడు. చల్లబడిన (ఘృత/సోమరస) వానివాని పృష్ఠం అశ్వపు పృష్ఠంలా ప్రకాశిస్తుంది; దివ్యశిఖరంలా గర్జిస్తూ, ఉన్నత జ్యోతి పిలుపుతో ప్రాణులను మేల్కొలిపేలా అతడు ఘోషిస్తాడు.
