Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 8.40.6

ápi vṛśca purāṇavád vratáter iva guṣpitám ójo dāsásya dambhaya | vayáṃ tád asya sambhṛtáṃ vásv índreṇa ví bhajemahi nábhantām anyaké samé ||

ഇന്ദ്രനേ, പണ്ടത്തെപ്പോലെ കെട്ടുപിണഞ്ഞ ശക്തിയെയും മുറിച്ചുകളക—വ്രതഭംഗിയുടെ ബന്ധനം മുറിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ; ദാസന്റെ ഓജസ്സിനെ തകർത്തുകളക. പിന്നെ ഞങ്ങൾ ഇന്ദ്രനോടൊപ്പം സമാഹരിച്ച വസു (ധനം) വിഭജിക്കട്ടെ; മറ്റുള്ളവർ അതേ യുദ്ധഭൂമിയിൽ ചിതറിപ്പോകട്ടെ.
