Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 7.4.8
Transliteration

náhi grabhā́yā́raṇaḥ su-śévo ’nyó-daryo mánasā́ mantavā́ u | ádhā cid ókaḥ púnar ít sá ety ā́ no vājí abhīṣā́ḷ etu návyaḥ ||

Translation

Sebab Arani tidak untuk direnggut; ia penuh rahmat, namun hanya dapat digenggam oleh fikiran sejati di dalam batin, bukan oleh lapar-perut orang lain. Walau rumah hilang, ia datang kembali ke tempat kediaman; moga daya kemenangan—penggerak yang baharu—datang kepada kami dengan kedahsyatan penaklukan.
