Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.4.3
Transliteration

śíśuṃ na tvā jényam vardháyantī mātā bibharti sacanasyámānā | dhánoḥ ádhi prá-vatā yāsi háryañ jigī́ṣase paśúr ivā́va-sṛṣṭaḥ ||

Translation

Wie eine Mutter ihr wachsendes Kind nährt und trägt, so hält sie dich, die sieghafte Macht, im Einverständnis mit deiner Gemeinschaft. Vom Bogen her ziehst du aus auf der abwärts führenden Bahn, glühend, begierig zu siegen, losgelassen wie ein Tier, das in seine eigene Kraft entlassen ist.
