Recitation with translationRig Veda 1.173.2

árcad vṛ́ṣā vṛ́ṣabhíḥ svéd u-havyair mṛgó nā́śno áti yáj juguryā́t | prá mandayúr manā́ṁ gū́rta hótā bhárate máryo mithunā́ yájatraḥ ||

Sang Banteng dipuji oleh para banteng, oleh mereka yang persembahannya ialah kegembiraan mereka sendiri; laksana binatang liar ia melampaui sang pemakan ketika ia hendak dibangunkan. Hotar yang terilham dan bersemangat mengusung ke hadapan fikiran; sang pemuja muda membawa persembahan berpasangan, layak disembah.
