Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 7.37.7
Transliteration

abhí yáṃ devī́ nír̥tiś cid ī́śe nákṣanta índraṃ śáradaḥ su-pṛ́kṣaḥ | úpa tri-bándhur jarad-aṣṭím eti ásvaveśaṃ yáṃ kṛṇávanta mártāḥ ||

Translation

Ihn – Indra –, den selbst die Göttin Nirṛti, die Auflösung, zu beanspruchen vermöchte, suchen und erreichen doch die gut nährenden Jahreszeiten. Zu ihm kommt der Dreifach-Gebundene, hin zur alten achtfachen Grenze; jenen verengten Zustand, den Sterbliche sich bereiten, vermag er zu überschreiten und zu wandeln.
