Recitation with translationRig Veda 8.60.16

saptá hotā́ras tám íd īḷate tvā́gne su-tyájám áhrayam | bhinátsy ádrim tápasā ví śóciṣā prá̄gne tiṣṭha jánā̃ áti ||

Tujuh kuasa-imam memuja hanya Engkau, wahai Agni—yang sukar ditinggalkan, yang tidak mengenal letih. Engkau membelah batu dengan tapas-Mu, dan dengan nyala yang bersinar luas; berdirilah di hadapan, wahai Agni, dan pimpinlah kami melampaui batas-batas insan biasa.
