Translations signed

The Two refulgent with their beams rise and come downward from the sky. By Indra's and by Agni's behest, flowing away, the rivers, run which they released from their restraint.

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.
