Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.162.21

ná vā u etán mriyase ná riṣyasi devā́n íd eṣi pathíbhīḥ su-gébhiḥ | harī́ te yuñjā́ pṛ́ṣatī abhūtām upā́sthād vājī́ dhurí rāsábhasya ||

Sesungguhnya, dengan ini engkau tidak binasa, dan tidak pula tercedera; melalui jalan-jalan yang indah dan mudah engkau benar-benar pergi kepada para Dewa. Dua ekor kuda yang cemerlang dipasang bagimu, bertompok dalam dayanya; yang perkasa telah berdiri dekat, pada palang kuk keldai—menyokong perjalanan.
