Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 5.34.6
Transliteration

vi-tvákṣaṇaḥ sámṛtau cakrám āsajó 'sūnvató víṣuṇaḥ sunvató vṛdháḥ | índro víśvasya damitā́ vi-bhī́ṣaṇo yathāvaśáṃ nayati dā́sām ā́ryaḥ ||

Translation

Dengan kecakapan yang menembus, pada pertemuan musim-musim ia menggerakkan roda; terpisah dari yang tak memeras (soma), penambah bagi para pemeras: Indra, penjinak segala, menggetarkan dalam kedahsyatan kuasanya, menuntun Dasa—watak gelap yang mengabdi—menurut kehendaknya; sementara daya Arya, sang mulia yang berjuang, maju. Demikianlah yang ilahi.
