Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 13.4.7

paścā́t prā́ñca ā́ tanvanti yád udéti ví bhā́sati | raśmíbhir nábha ā́bhṛtaṃ mahéndra éty ā́vṛtaḥ ||

From the rear to the fore they stretch abroad, when he arises and shines out widely. With rays the firmament is borne and filled: great Indra comes, encompassed round about.

পিছফালৰ পৰা আগফাললৈ সিহঁতে বিস্তাৰ কৰে, যেতিয়া তেওঁ উদয় হৈ বহলকৈ দীপ্ত হয়। ৰশ্মিসমূহে নভোমণ্ডল ধৰি-পূৰি ৰাখে; মহেন্দ্ৰ ইন্দ্ৰ চাৰিওফালে আৱৃত হৈ আগবাঢ়ি আহে।
