Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 7.90.3

rā́ye nú yáṃ jajñátū ródasī imé rā́ye devī́ dhiṣáṇā dhāti devám | ádha vāyúṃ niyútaḥ saścata svā́ utá śvétam vásudhitiṃ nireké ||

内なる富饒(rā́yas)の増大のために、この二つ――天と地――は神聖なる力をここに生み出した。同じ増益のために、女神ディーシャナー(Dhīṣaṇā)は内に神を据え置く。ついでヴァーユ(Vāyu)の自らの軛に繋がれた諸力(niyút)が来て彼に寄り添い、そして白き豊穣の基盤(vasudhiti)が、据えられたところに輝き出る。
