Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 7.4.8
Transliteration

náhi grabhā́yā́raṇaḥ su-śévo ’nyó-daryo mánasā́ mantavā́ u | ádhā cid ókaḥ púnar ít sá ety ā́ no vājí abhīṣā́ḷ etu návyaḥ ||

Translation

فإنَّ أَرَني لا تُؤخَذُ قَسرًا؛ هو لطيفٌ مُنعم، غيرَ أنّه لا يُدرَك إلا بفكرِ القلبِ الصادق، لا بجوعِ بطنِ غيرِك. وحتى إن ضاعَ البيتُ عادَ إلى المسكن؛ فلتأتِنا القوّةُ الظافرة—المُحرِّكُ الجديد—ببأسٍ قاهر.
