Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 9.87.8

eṣā yayau paramād antar adreḥ | kūcit satīr ūrve gā viveda | divo na vidyút stanáyanty abhráiḥ | somasya te pavata indra dhārā ||

Arus Soma ini telah masuk dari yang tertinggi, ke dalam jantung batu; menjadi sang pencari, ia menemukan Lembu-Lembu (sinar pencerahan) di gua yang luas. Seperti kilat langit yang menggelegar di tengah awan, wahai Indra, arus Somamu mengalir dalam pemurnian.
