Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.61.9

makṣū́ ná váhniḥ pra-jā́yā upabdir agníṃ ná nagná úpa sīdad ū́dhaḥ | sánitā ídhmaṃ sánitotá vā́jaṃ sá dhartā́ jajñe sáhasā yavīyút ||

వేగంగా, వహ్నివలె, ప్రజల పిలుపు సమీపిస్తుంది; నగ్న అగ్నివలె అది గుప్త మూలం—ఊధః (స్తన/ఆధారం)—దగ్గర కూర్చుంటుంది. ఇధ్మం (ఇంధనం) గెలిచినవాడూ, వాజం (బల-సమృద్ధి) గెలిచినవాడూ అయిన ఆ ధర్తా జన్మిస్తాడు—సహసా (అపార శక్తి)తో యౌవనంగా; రహస్య పోషణం నుండి కార్యాన్ని ధారిస్తాడు.
