Recitation with translationRig Veda 6.36.1

satrā́ madā́sas táva viśvájanyāḥ satrā́ rā́yo ádha yé pārthivā́saḥ | satrā́ vājā́nām abhavo vibhaktā́ yád devéṣu dhāráyathā asúryam ||

Immer, allumfassend, sind deine Rauschekstasien; immer sind die Reichtümer für die, die auf Erden stehen. Immer warst du der Austeiler der vāja, der Füllen, als du unter den Göttern das asurya trugst — die herrische Macht der Wahrheit.
