Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 6.4.7
Transliteration

tvā́ṃ hí mandrá-tamam arka-śokáir vavṛmáhe máhi naḥ śróṣy agne | índraṃ na tvā śávasā devátā vāyúṃ pṛṇanti rā́dhasā nṛ́-tamāḥ ||

Translation

कारण मंत्र-ज्वालांनी आम्ही तुलाच—सर्वाधिक आनंददायक—वरण केले आहे; हे अग्ने, आमच्या महान हितासाठी आमचे ऐक. जसे देव इंद्राला बलाने आणि वायूला दान-समृद्धीने परिपूर्ण करतात, तसेच श्रेष्ठ मनुष्य तुला शक्तीने व सिद्धीने परिपूर्ण करतात।
