Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 9.86.6

ubhayatáḥ pávamānasya raśmáyo dhruvásya satáḥ pári yanti ketávaḥ | yadī pavítre ádhi mṛ́jyate háriḥ sattā́ ní yonā kalaśéṣu sīdati ||

من الجانبين تدور أشعّة سوما المُطهِّر لذاته—الثابت في الحقّ—كعلاماتٍ مضيئة. وحين يُنقّى الأشقر على المِصفاة، عندئذٍ، آخِذًا مقعده الحقّ، يستقرّ في أرحامه، أي في الكؤوس التي تتلقّى وتحتضن اللذّة المُصفّاة.
