Recitation with translationRig Veda 8.3.23

yásmā anyé dáśa práti dhúraṃ váhanti váhnayaḥ | ástaṃ váyo ná tugryám ||

جس کے لیے دوسرے دس شعلے کی طاقت کے بردار، جواب میں جوا بہتے ہیں، جیسے پرندے شام کو اپنے گھر جاتے ہیں، اسی طرح تمام طاقتیں اس رہنما اصول کی طرف لوٹتی ہیں، جو سفر کا ٹھہرا ہوا آرام گاہ ہے۔
