Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 8.101.15
Transliteration

mātā́ rudrā́ṇāṃ duhitā́ vásūnāṃ svásādityā́nām amṛ́tasya nā́bhiḥ | prá nu vocaṃ cikituṣé jánāya mā́ gā́m anā́gām áditiṃ vadhiṣṭa ||

Translation

രുദ്രന്മാരുടെ മാതാവ്, വസുക്കളുടെ പുത്രി, ആദിത്യന്മാരുടെ സഹോദരി—അമൃതത്തിന്റെ നാഭി. വിവേകമുള്ള മനുഷ്യനോട് ഞാൻ ഇപ്പോൾ അവളെ പ്രസ്താവിക്കുന്നു. പശുവിനെ—നിഷ്പാപയായ അദിതി (അനന്തം)യെ—അടിക്കരുത്; നിങ്ങളുടെ ഉള്ളിലെ അമരത്വത്തിന്റെ മൂലത്തെ മുറിവേൽപ്പിക്കരുത്.
