Recitation with translationRig Veda 6.17.2

sá īṃ pāhi yá ṛjīṣī tárutro yáḥ śípravān vṛṣabhó yó matīnā́m | yó gotra-bhíd vajra-bhṛ́d yó hari-sthā́ḥ sá indra citrā́ṃ abhí tṛndhi vā́jān ||

Lindungilah dan peliharalah Soma ini bagi kami—engkau yang tangkas, yang melampaui, banteng-perkasa, penguasa ilham-ilham; engkau pemecah kandang-kandang, pemangku vajra, yang berdiri di atas kuda-kuda berkilau. Wahai Indra, halaukanlah kepada kami aneka kelimpahan daya (vāja).
