Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 1.35.3

apā́m téjo jyótirojó bálaṃ ca vanaspátīnāmutá vīryā̀ṇi | índra ivendriyā́ṇyádhi dhārayāmo asmín tád dákṣamāṇo bíbharad híraṇyam ||

The splendour of the Waters, their light, their vital force and strength, and, moreover, the efficacies of the Lords of the Forest—these, Indra-like powers, we set and bear upon ourselves herein; so, made effectual, bearing the gold, he carries that might.

ความรุ่งเรืองของสายน้ำ แสงของสายน้ำ เรี่ยวแรงชีวิตและกำลังของสายน้ำ และยิ่งกว่านั้น สรรพคุณและฤทธิ์เดชของเจ้าแห่งพฤกษา (vanaspati) ทั้งหลาย—พลังดุจอินทระเหล่านี้ เราตั้งไว้และแบกไว้บนตน ณ ที่นี้. ครั้นมีฤทธิ์ผลแล้ว เขาผู้ถือทองคำย่อมทรงไว้และนำพากำลังนั้นไป.
