Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 4.16.10
Transliteration

ā́ dasyu-ghnā́ manasā yā́hy ástaṃ bhúvat te kútsaḥ sakhyé ní-kāmaḥ | své yónau ní ṣadatam sá-rūpā ví vāṃ cikitsad ṛtá-cid dha nā́rī ||

Translation

Kehre heim im Geist, o Dasyu-Schlächter; Kútsa ist dir zum Gefährten geworden in der Freundschaft eines einzigen Begehrens. Setzt euch zusammen in eurem eigenen Schoß, von einer Gestalt; und die Frau, die durch Ṛta erkennt, ersieht wahrlich dein verborgenes Wirken.
