Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.52.9

bṛhát svaś-candrám áma-vad yád ukthyám ákṛṇvata bhiyásā róhaṇaṃ diváḥ | yán mā́nuṣa-pradhanā índram ūtáyaḥ svàr nṛ-ṣā́co marúto ’madann ánu ||

They made the hymn vast and bright, full of force; through awe they fashioned the ascent to heaven. When in the human battles the Maruts, companions of men, rejoiced following Indra—helpers of the luminous world.
