Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 7.80.4

paurṇamāsī́ prathamā́ yajñíyā́sīd áhnāṃ rā́trīṇām atiśarvaréṣu | yé tvā́ṃ yajñáir yajñíye árdhayanty amī́ té nā́ke sukṛ́taḥ práviṣṭāḥ ||

Full-moon Night, first and meet for sacrifice, wast thou, amid the over-darkened nights of days. They who, O worthy of worship, by sacrifices make thee thrive—those very men, rich in merit, have entered heaven.

Wahai Malam Purnama, engkaulah yang pertama, yang layak bagi yajña; di antara malam-malam hari yang amat gelap engkau tampak melampaui semuanya. Mereka yang, wahai yang patut dipuja, dengan yajña-yajña membuatmu bertumbuh dan berjaya—merekalah, para pelaku kebajikan yang kaya pahala, telah memasuki surga.
