Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.36.8

apā́m péruṃ jīvádhanyaṃ bharāmahe devā́vyaṃ suhávaṃ adhvaraśríyam | suraśmíṃ sómam indriyáṃ yamīmahi tád devā́nām ávo adyā́ vṛṇīmahe ||

Sacamos adelante el «vado» de las aguas —nutridor de vida, apto para el movimiento divino, fácil de invocar, esplendor del rito de la ofrenda. Buscamos uncir a nosotros el Soma radiante, la fuerza indriya de Indra; esa ayuda protectora de los Dioses la elegimos hoy.
