प्र ये दिवः पृथिव्या न बर्हणा त्मना रिरिच्रे अभ्रान्न सूर्यः । पाजस्वन्तो न वीराः पनस्यवो रिशादसो न मर्या अभिद्यवः ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.77.3

prá ye diváḥ pṛthivyā́ ná barháṇā tmánā riricré abhrā́n ná sū́ryaḥ | pā́jasvanto ná vīrā́ḥ panasyávo riśā́daso ná maryā́ abhí-dyavaḥ ||

Ils jaillissent du ciel et de la terre comme un gonflement qui monte ; par leur propre être ils s’étendent, comme le soleil hors des nuées. Rayonnants tels des héros, avides du gain de l’accomplissement, dévoreurs de résistance comme de jeunes guerriers, ils poussent en avant vers la lumière.
