महे यत्पित्र ईं रसं दिवे करव त्सरत्पृशन्यश्चिकित्वान् । सृजदस्ता धृषता दिद्युमस्मै स्वायां देवो दुहितरि त्विषिं धात् ॥

Recitation with translationRig Veda 1.71.5
Transliteration

mahe yat pitrá īṃ rásaṃ divé karavát tsarat pṛśányāś cikitvān | sṛjádatā dhṛṣatā didyúm asmai svāyāṃ devó duhitári tviṣíṃ dhāt ||

Translation

Quando o Sábio fez rasa, a seiva interior, para o Grande Pai e para o Céu, então o conhecedor Pṛśanya avançou. Ele, o arqueiro, libertou com ousadia para ele a luz fulgurante; e o deus colocou o esplendor na sua própria filha — na sua morada devida.
