Recitation with translationRig Veda 7.2.6

utá yóṣaṇe divyé mahī́ na uṣásā-náktā su-dúgheva dhenúḥ | barhi-ṣádā puru-hūté maghónī ā́ yajñíye suvitā́ya śrayetām ||

Lại xin hai thiếu nữ thiên giới—Uṣas (Bình minh) và Naktā (Đêm)—rộng lớn vì chúng con như bò cái cho sữa dồi dào, ngự trên chỗ ngồi thiêng của cỏ bārhis; các Đấng giàu có, được kêu thỉnh nhiều lần, ban phát sung túc. Xin nghiêng về công việc tế tự, để được cuộc đi tới tốt lành và phúc lạc rộng lớn.
