Rig Veda 6.71.1: Mandala 6, Sukta 71, Mantra 1
Sukta 6.71
उदु ष्य देवः सविता हिरण्यया बाहू अयंस्त सवनाय सुक्रतुः । घृतेन पाणी अभि प्रुष्णुते मखो युवा सुदक्षो रजसो विधर्मणि ॥
úd u ṣyá deváḥ savitā́ hiraṇyáyā bāhū́ ayaṃsta sávanāya suk rát uḥ | ghṛténa pāṇī́ abhí pruṣṇute makhó yúvā sudákṣo rájaso vídharmaṇi ||
يَنْهَضُ الإِلَهُ سَفِيتار؛ بِذِرَاعَيْنِ ذَهَبِيَّتَيْنِ يَمُدُّهُمَا لِعَمَلِ العَصْرِ، ذُو إِرَادَةٍ مُشْرِقَة. وَبِالغْرِتَا (ghṛta) يُرَطِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ؛ فَتِيًّا فِي القُوَّة، تَامَّ المَهَارَة، يُقِيمُ السُّنَّةَ فِي فَسَاحَاتِ الرَّجَس (rajas) الوَاسِعَة.
