Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 9.101.13

Transliteration

prá sunvāná syā́ndhasaḥ márto ná vṛta tád vácaḥ | ápa śvā́nam arā́dhasaṃ hatā́ mákhaṃ ná bhṛ́gavaḥ ||

Translation

Biarlah sabda meluncur dari manisnya perasan; janganlah ia tertahan seperti milik seorang fana. Singkirkan musuh yang menggonggong, yang tak membawa hasil yang benar—hantam ia, sebagaimana para Bhṛgu menumbangkan daya penghalang dalam yajña.
