Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 5.21.11

yūyám ugrā́ marutaḥ pṛśnimātara índreṇa yujā́ prá mṛṇīta śátrūn | sómo rā́jā váruṇo rā́jā mahādevá utá mṛtyúr índraḥ ||

Ye, fierce Maruts, children of Pṛśni, yoked in fellowship with Indra, smite forth and crush the foes. Soma is King, Varuṇa is King; and Mahādeva also—yea, Death (itself) is Indra.

你们,威猛的马鲁特(Maruts),普利什尼(Pṛśni)之母所生的子嗣,与因陀罗(Indra)结为同轭同盟者——奋起击打,粉碎诸敌。苏摩(Soma)为王,伐楼那(Varuṇa)为王;大天(Mahādeva)亦为王——是的,连死亡(Mṛtyu)本身亦是因陀罗。
