Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.89.7

jaghā́na vṛtráṃ svádhitir váneva rurója púro áradann síndhūn | bibhéda giríṃ návam ín na kúmbham ā́ gā́ índro akṛṇuta svayúgbhiḥ ||

Il a frappé Vṛtra ; tel une hache dans la forêt, il a fendu les fronts qui obstruent et a délivré les courants. Il a fendu la montagne comme on brise une jarre neuve, et par ses propres puissances attelées Indra a manifesté les Rayons — les vaches de Lumière.
