Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 9.6.9

Transliteration

evā́ punāná indrayúr mádaṃ madiṣṭha vītáye | guhā́ cid dadhíṣe gíraḥ ||

Translation

Demikianlah, engkau yang menyucikan diri, yang mendambakan Indra, engkau membawa madhu—keghairahan suci yang paling kuat—untuk kenikmatan ilahi. Bahkan di guha yang tersembunyi pun engkau menegakkan girah, kata-kata ilham; maka bahagian-bahagian yang tersembunyi dari diri mula menuturkan Kebenaran.
