Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 4.6.11
Transliteration

akā́ri bráhma sam-idhāná túbhyaṃ śáṃsāti uktháṃ yájate ví ūṃ iti dhāḥ | hótāram agníṃ mánuṣo ní ṣeduḥ namasyánta uśíjaḥ śáṃsam āyóḥ ||

Translation

Para ti, cuando eres encendido, ha sido forjada la Palabra-Brahman; el himno de alabanza la proclama, y el sacrificante la dispone según el debido orden. Ante Agni, el sacerdote Hotar, se han sentado los hombres, inclinándose en adoración — los Uśij, los fervorosos, que buscan la alabanza de Āyu.
