Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.122.3

mámattu naḥ párijmā vasarhā́ mámattu vā́to apā́ṁ vṛ́ṣaṇvān | śiśītám indrā́parvatā yuváṁ nas tán no víśve varivasyantu devā́ḥ ||

మాకు చుట్టూ విహరించే పరిజ్మా శక్తి మమ్మల్ని ఆనందింపజేయుగాక; జలాల వృషభసమ బలమైన వాయువూ మమ్మల్ని ఆనందింపజేయుగాక. ఓ ఇంద్రా, ఓ పర్వతా, మా కోసం శక్తులను పదును పెట్టండి; అప్పుడు సమస్త దేవతలు మాకు విశాల స్థలాన్ని కల్పించుగాక—ఆత్మకు స్వేచ్ఛా గమనం, విజయమయ ఉద్ధరణ కొరకు.
