Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 8.20.26

víśvaṃ páśyanto bibhṛthā tanū́ṣv ā́ ténā no ádhi vocata | kṣamā́ rápō maruta ā́turasya na iṣkarta ví-hrutáṃ púnaḥ ||

Melihat segala sesuatu, kamu menanggung dan menegakkannya dalam tubuh-tubuhmu sendiri; dengan kuasa yang serba-melihat itu ucapkanlah atas kami dan betulkanlah kami. Wahai Marut, tenangkanlah kegelisahan dari diri kami yang terdera; pulihkan kembali apa yang telah tersasar dan terlerai.
