Recitation with translationRig Veda 2.28.4

prá sīm ādityó asṛjad vi-dhártāṃ ṛtáṃ síndhavo váruṇasya yanti | ná śrāmyanti ná ví mucanty eté váyo ná paptū raghu-yā́ pári-jman ||

Sang Āditya, sang penata, telah melepaskan mereka: sungai-sungai bergerak dalam Ṛta; mereka menempuh jalan Varuṇa. Mereka tidak letih, tidak menyimpang dari arusnya; laksana burung mereka terbang cepat dalam perjalanan yang berputar—tunduk pada hukum yang mengatur gerak.
