Recitation with translationRig Veda 10.16.3

sū́ryaṃ cákṣur gacchatu vā́tam ātmā́ dyā́ṃ ca gaccha pṛthivī́ṃ ca dhármaṇā | apó vā gaccha yádi tátra te hitám óṣadhīṣu práti tiṣṭha śárīraiḥ ||

Niech wzrok pójdzie do Słońca, niech tchnienie życia pójdzie do Wiatru. Idź, zgodnie z prawem swojej prawdy, do Nieba i do Ziemi. Lub idź do Wód, jeśli tam jest twoje miejsce; w roślinach zajmij swą postawę ponownie z mocami ucieleśnienia.
