Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 8.96.12

tád viviḍḍhi yát ta índro jújoṣat stuhí suṣṭutím namasā́ vivāsa | úpa bhūṣa jaritar mā́ ruvaṇyaḥ śrāvayā́ vā́caṃ kuvíd aṅgá védat ||

Discierne bien aquello con lo que Indra se complace de verdad: entona la buena alabanza y sirve con la reverencia (namasā). Adórnala, oh cantor; no clames en vano: haz oír la Palabra (vāc), para que alguien en verdad llegue a conocerla.
