Recitation with translationRig Veda 1.61.6

asmā́ íd u tváṣṭā takṣád vájraṃ svápastamaṃ svaryáṃ raṇā́ya | vṛtrásya cid vidád yéna márma tújan nīśā́nas tujatā́ kiyedhā́ḥ ||

Baginya, sesungguhnya, Tvaṣṭṛ menempa vajra—paling sempurna dalam kerja, bercahaya untuk medan laga. Dengannya ia menemukan bahkan titik hayat Vṛtra; dan, mara sebagai Yang Berdaulat, ia menewaskan para penewas serta memecahkan kuasa-kuasa penghalang.
