Recitation with translationRig Veda 4.16.10

Transliteration

ā́ dasyu-ghnā́ manasā yā́hy ástaṃ bhúvat te kútsaḥ sakhyé ní-kāmaḥ | své yónau ní ṣadatam sá-rūpā ví vāṃ cikitsad ṛtá-cid dha nā́rī ||

Translation

โอ ผู้สังหารทัสยุ จงหวนกลับสู่เรือนด้วยจิตใจเถิด; คุตสะ (Kútsa) ได้เป็นสหายของท่านแล้ว ในมิตรภาพแห่งความปรารถนาเดียวกัน. จงนั่งร่วมกันในแหล่งกำเนิดของตนเอง (โยนิ) ด้วยรูปเดียวกัน; สตรีผู้รู้ด้วยฤตะ (ṛta) ย่อมแลเห็นการกระทำอันเร้นลับของท่านทั้งสองโดยแท้.
