Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 3.56.1

ná tā́ minanti māyíno ná dhīrā́ vratā́ devā́nām prathamā́ dhruvā́ṇi | ná rodasī́ adrúhā vedyā́bhir ná párvatā ni-náme tasthi-vā́ṃsaḥ ||

মায়াবী শক্তিৰ অধিপতি হ’লেও জ্ঞানীসকলে দেৱসকলৰ প্ৰথম আৰু দৃঢ় বিধান ভংগ নকৰে। সত্যনিষ্ঠ দুই লোক (ৰোদসী) তেওঁলোকৰ কৰ্মেৰে নত নহয়; আৰু স্থিৰভাৱে প্ৰতিষ্ঠিত পৰ্বতসমূহো নত কৰোৱা নাযায়।
