Recitation with translationRig Veda 6.52.3

kím aṅgá tvā bráhmaṇaḥ soma gopā́ṃ kím aṅgá tvāhur abhiśastipā́ṃ naḥ | kím aṅgá naḥ páśyasi nidyámānān brahma-dvíṣe tápuṣiṃ hétim asyá ||

¿Por qué, en verdad, te llaman, oh Soma, guardián del brahman? ¿Por qué te nombran protector nuestro contra la imprecación hostil? ¿Por qué nos miras cuando somos censurados, para arrojar contra el odiador del brahman el arma ardiente de tu fuerza?
