Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 2.38.3
Transliteration

āśúbhiś cid yā́n ví mucāti nūnáṃ arī́ramad átamānaṃ cid étóḥ | ahyarṣū́ṇāṃ cid ní ayā́n aviṣyā́m ánu vratáṃ savitúr mókī ā́ agāt ||

Translation

Selbst die schnellen Bahnen lässt er jetzt los und macht sie frei; er hat selbst das in Bewegung gesetzt, was in seinem Gang unbewegt war. Selbst die Schlangenmächte hat er herabgeführt und unschädlich gemacht; dem Gesetz (vrata) Savitars folgend, kommt die befreiende Lösung.
