Recitation with translationRig Veda 1.51.2

abhīm avanvanta svabhiṣṭim ūtayo ’ntarikṣa-prāṃ taviṣībhir āvṛtam | indraṃ dakṣāsa ṛbhavo mada-cyutaṃ śata-kratuṃ javanī sūnṛtā ā aruhat ||

Ku niemu tłoczą się pomocne Moce, szukając prawdziwego spełnienia; Indra jest ogarnięty swymi potęgami wypełniającymi świat środkowy. Zręczni Rbhuowie, mistrzowie prawidłowego kształtowania, wywyższają Indrę, nieupadłego z ekstazy, o stu skutecznych wolach; a szybka Prawda wspina się do niego.
