Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 1
Indra’s swift, bull-like approach to the Soma-seat and his sure hearing of the stotra
सत्यमित्था वृषेदसि वृषजूतिर्नो ऽविता वृषा ह्युग्र शृण्विषे परावति वृषो अर्वावति श्रुतः
satyamitthā vṛṣedasi vṛṣajūtirno 'vitā vṛṣā hyugra śṛṇviṣe parāvati vṛṣo arvāvati śrutaḥ
satyám ítthā vṛ́ṣedasi vṛ́ṣa-jūtir no ’vitā́ vṛ́ṣā hí ugrá śṛṇvíṣe parā́vati vṛ́ṣo arvā́vati śrutáḥ
まことに、かくして汝は雄々しく近づく。力強き救護の光をもつ、われらの護り手。されば、猛き牡牛よ、汝はわれらの讃歌を聴く——遠きよりも、近きよりも、聴く者として名高く。
