Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 6.28.4

ná tā́ arvā́ reṇú-kakāṭo aśnute ná saṃskṛtatrám úpa yanti tā́ abhí | uru-gāyám ábhayam tásya tā́ ánu gā́vo mártasya ví caranti yájvanaḥ ||

Tiada penyerang yang pantas, tiada pengejar yang menghamburkan debu, dapat mencapai mereka; mereka tidak mendekati jerat yang tersusun rapi. Mereka mengikuti Yang melangkah luas, Yang tanpa takut; di bawah lindungan itu Sinar-sinar bergerak bebas dalam diri insan yang berkurban, merentang tanpa halangan.
