Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 5.8.6

tvām agne sam-idhānaṁ yaviṣṭhya devā dūtaṁ cakrire havya-vāhanam | uru-jrayasaṁ ghṛta-yonim āhutaṁ tveṣaṁ cakṣur dadhire codayan-mati ||

أنتَ يا أغني، حين تُوقَد—يا أصغرَهم سنًّا ودائمَ الجِدّة—قد جعلك الآلهةُ رسولَهم، حامِلَ القُربان (havyavāhana). واسعٌ اندفاعُك إلى الأمام، ومَنبعُك الغِرْتا (ghṛta: النور/السمن المُصفّى)؛ مُستدعًى بالقرابين—أُقيمتَ عينًا ضاريةً، تُسيّرُ الفكرَ نحو مساره القويم.
