Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.191.8

út purástāt sū́rya eti viśvá-dṛṣṭo adṛṣṭa-hā́ | adṛ́ṣṭān sárvān jambháyan sárvāś ca yātu-dhā́nyaḥ ||

Von vornher, aus dem Osten, steigt die Sonne empor — allsehend, ein Töter des Unsichtbaren. Alle verborgenen Widersacher zerschmetternd, schlägt sie auch jede yātu-dhāna-Macht nieder, die das Sein entstellt und verschlingt.
