Recitation with translationRig Veda 9.69.2

úpo matíḥ pṛ́cyate sicyate mádhu mandrā́janī codate antárā́sani | pávamānaḥ santaníḥ prághnatām-iva mádhumān drápsaḥ pári vā́ram arṣati ||

La pensée s’approche et s’entrelace, elle est imprégnée de miel ; la naissance porteuse de délice la pousse au-dedans du siège de l’être. Le Soma qui se purifie, fil ininterrompu, tel celui qui abat les obstacles, — la goutte riche de miel circule autour du filet qui enserre et passe au-delà.
