Translations signed

Strong be the pair of oxen, firm the axles, let not the pole slip nor the yoke be broken. May Indra, keep the yoke-pins from decaying: attend us, thou whose fellies are uninjured.

Listen

No recitation by a named reciter exists for this verse yet. Around eleven śākhās are still recited by an unbroken chain of teachers, and recording them is the most time-critical work in this project. If you recite, please get in touch.

  1. English Strong be the pair of oxen, firm the axles, let not the pole slip nor the yoke be broken. May Indra, keep the yoke-pins from decaying: attend us, thou whose fellies are uninjured. Ralph T.H. Griffith
