Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.44.8

girī́ṁr ajrā́n rejámānāṁ adhārayad dyáuḥ krándad antárikṣāṇi kopayat | samīcīné dhiṣáṇe ví ṣkabhāyati vṛ́ṣṇaḥ pītvā́ máda ukthā́ni śaṃsati ||

Ele sustentou as montanhas trêmulas e as cristas vacilantes; o próprio Céu bradou, e as regiões do meio foram agitadas em tumulto. Nas duas potências gêmeas da inspiração, harmonizadas (dhiṣaṇe), ele estabelece um amplo e firme suporte; o Touro, tendo bebido o êxtase inebriante, proclama os hinos da Palavra (ukthāni).
