Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.168.3
Transliteration

sómāso ná yé sutā́s tṛptā́ṃśavo hṛtsú pītā́so duvásō násate | aiṣā́m áṃseṣu rambhiṇī́va rārabhe hás teṣu khādíś ca kṛtíś ca sáṃ dadhe ||

Translation

Wie ausgepresste Soma-Tränke sind ihre Ströme: gesättigt, im Herzen getrunken, nehmen sie Platz im Geben. Auf ihren Schultern haftet gleichsam die Rambhiṇī; in ihren Händen sind zusammengefügt die Kraft, aufzubrechen, und die Kraft, zu formen.
