Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.162.1

mā́ no mitró váruṇo aryamā́yur índra ṛbhukṣā́ marútaḥ pári khyan | yád vājíno deva-jā́tasya sáptéḥ prá-vakṣyāmo vidáthe vīryā́ṇi ||

Que Mitra, Varuṇa, Aryaman, la fuerza vital, Indra, Rbhukṣan y los Maruts no nos miren con reproche, pues en la asamblea (vidatha) proclamaremos los poderes heroicos del corcel veloz, nacido de los dioses—declarando el señorío interior que debe ser pronunciado con rectitud.
