Sukta 1.24

Rishi: Medhātithi Kāṇva

नहि ते क्षत्रं न सहो न मन्युं वयश्चनामी पतयन्त आपुः । नेमा आपो अनिमिषं चरन्तीर्न ये वातस्य प्रमिनन्त्यभ्वम् ॥

Recitation with translationRig Veda 1.24.6

náhi te kṣatráṃ ná sáho ná mányuṃ váyaś canā́mī patáyanta ā́puḥ | némā ā́po ani-míṣaṃ cárantīr ná ye vā́tasya prá-minanty ábhvam ||

Bukanlah kedaulatan-Mu, bukan juga kekuatan-Mu, bukan amarah-Mu yang menggelegak—bahkan makhluk bersayap pun tidak mampu mengejar. Bahkan Air-air ini, yang bergerak tanpa berkelip, tidak dapat disekat; kerana mereka tidak mengurangi keluasan Sang Angin.
