Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 9.9.5

ihá bravītu yá īm áṅga védāsyá vā́masya níhitaṃ padáṃ véḥ | śīrṣṇáḥ kṣīráṃ duhrate gā́vo asya vavríṃ vásānā udakáṃ padā́’puḥ

Let him speak here—who, pray, knoweth the hidden station of this wondrous Bird. From his head the cows draw milk; clothing the udder, they have won the water at the track.

Biarlah dia berkata di sini—siapa, wahai, yang mengetahui tempat tersembunyi Burung yang menakjubkan ini. Dari kepalanya lembu-lembu memerah susu; dengan menyalut ambing, mereka memperoleh air pada jejak (laluan) itu.
