Matched to this passage
Confirmed. The text the source says this recording recites matches this corpus's text for this passage.
The line behind the control
An accent trace: one turn for each of the 4 accent marks printed in this verse, a mark above the letter turning the line up and a mark below turning it down. It is derived from the text on this page and from nothing else. It is not measured pitch, not a reconstructed melody, and not a timing of the recording: the playhead moves across it because both run left to right, and no syllable is claimed to align with any moment of the audio.

How it was matched
Mapped from the canonical key to the source's own verse coordinates -- for the Rigveda through the Valakhilya edition permutation, since the source numbers Mandala 8 in Griffith's order -- and then confirmed by comparing the text the source states this recording recites against this corpus's text for the same key.

Translation

She now, the excellent, rich in food, full of glory - the dawn hath shone for man (''mánu''), full of light (''svàr-''); since they have generated for the council [as] ''hótṛ'' Agni, the eager one, after the will (''krátu'') of the eager ones.
