Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.27.8

gā́vo yávaṁ práyutā aryó akṣan tā́ apaśyaṁ sahá-gopāś cárantīḥ | hávā íd aryó abhítaḥ sám āyan kíyad āsu svá-patiś chandayāte ||

Las vacas — rayos uncidos a la cebada de la fuerza — avanzaron bajo el impulso noble (ārya); las vi caminar con sus guardianes. El llamado del Ārya acudió desde todas partes: ¿hasta dónde, en ellas, consiente y se complace el verdadero señor del sí (svapati)?
