Rig Veda 1.166.2: Mandala 1, Sukta 166, Mantra 2
Sukta 1.166
नित्यं न सूनुं मधु बिभ्रत उप क्रीळन्ति क्रीळा विदथेषु घृष्वयः । नक्षन्ति रुद्रा अवसा नमस्विनं न मर्धन्ति स्वतवसो हविष्कृतम् ॥
nityaṃ na sūnuṃ madhu bibhrata upa krīḷanti krīḷā vidatheṣu ghṛṣvayaḥ | nakṣanti rudrā avasā namasvinaṃ na mardhanti sva-tavaso haviḥ-kṛtam ||
دائمًا، كأنهم يحملون ابنًا محبوبًا، يحملون حلاوةَ العسلِ للبهجة؛ والمَرُوت المندفعون يلهون في مجالسِ الطالبين. والرُّدْرَةُ يبلغون العابدَ بعونهم؛ أقوياءُ بذاتهم، لا يسحقون من صاغ القُربان—من جعل فعلَه تقدمةً مُكرَّسة.
