Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.73.6

sá-nāmānā cid dhvasáyo ny àsmā ávāhan índra uṣáso yáthā ánaḥ | ṛṣváir agacchaḥ sákhibhir níkāmaiḥ sā́kaṃ pratiṣṭhā́ hṛ́dyā jaghantha ||

ಪ್ರಾಚೀನ ವಿನಾಶಕಾರಿ ಶಕ್ತಿಗಳೂ ಸಹ ಅವನಿಗಾಗಿ ಕೆಳಗೆ ತಳ್ಳಲ್ಪಟ್ಟವು, ಹೇ ಇಂದ್ರ—ಉಷಸ್ಸುಗಳು ರಥದಂತೆ ಮುಂದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾಗುವಂತೆ. ಒಂದೇ ಇಚ್ಛೆಯುಳ್ಳ ಉನ್ನತ ಸಖರೊಂದಿಗೆ ನೀನು ಮುನ್ನಡೆದೆ; ಜೊತೆಯಾಗಿ, ನಿಲುವಿನ ಸ್ಥಾನವನ್ನು ತಡೆಯುವ ಹೃದಯವേദನಕಾರಿ ಪ್ರತಿರೋಧಗಳನ್ನು ನೀನು ಚೂರಾಗಿ ಹೊಡೆದೆ.
