Sukta 1.88

एषा स्या वो मरुतोऽनुभर्त्री प्रति ष्टोभति वाघतो न वाणी । अस्तोभयद्वृथासामनु स्वधां गभस्त्योः ॥

eṣā́ syā́ vo maruto ’nubhartṛ́ī práti ṣṭobhati vāgháto ná vā́ṇī | ástobhayad vṛ́thā sāmánu svadhā́ṃ gábhastyoḥ ||

హే మరుతులారా! ఇదే మీ అనుచరీ, మీకు ఆధారమై నిలిచే వాణి; యజమాని వాక్యంలా స్తోత్రధ్వనిగా ప్రతిధ్వనిస్తుంది. మీ స్వధా (స్వశక్తి/నియమం) ప్రకారం, మీ గభస్తి—పట్టుకునే హస్తాల—లోపల, ఇది స్వేచ్ఛగా సామస్వరాలను ఆలపించింది.
