Recitation with translationRig Veda 4.38.6

utá smā́su prathamáḥ sariṣyán ní veveti śréṇibhir ráthānām | srájaṃ kṛṇvāno janyó ná śúbhvā reṇúṃ rérīhat kiráṇaṃ dádāśvān ||

Dan di antara mereka dialah yang pertama menggelora mara; dia menenun turun melalui barisan-barisan teratur kereta-kereta. Seakan merangkai sebuah kalung, laksana pahlawan yang bercahaya, dia menghamburkan debu dalam sinar-sinar yang mengalir—dia yang telah melihat dan menguasai permainan cahaya.
