Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 3.45.3

gambhīrā́m̐ udadhī́m̐r iva krátuṁ puṣyasi gā́ iva | prá su-gopā́ yávasaṁ dhenávo yáthā hradáṁ kulyā́ iva ā́śata ||

তুমি মহাসাগরের মতো গম্ভীর কর্মশক্তি (ক্রতু) পুষ্ট করো, যেমন দীপ্তিমান গোর পাল লালিত-পালিত হয়। যেমন দোহন-গাভী চারণভূমির দিকে ত্বরিত হয়, তেমনি সু-রক্ষিত বৃদ্ধি-ধারাগুলি অগ্রসর হয়; যেমন কুল্যা (নালা/খাল) হ্রদ (সর) অভিমুখে ধাবিত হয়, তেমনি তারা অন্তর্গত সরোবরের দিকে গিয়ে পৌঁছে।
