Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 4.22.6

úttaras tvám ádhare te sapátnā yé ké ca rā́jan práti-śatravas te | éka-vṛ́ṣa índra-sakha jigīvā́n chatrūyatā́m ā́ bhara bhójanāni ||

Superior art thou; beneath thee are thy rivals—whoever, O King, are thine opposing foes. Sole Bull, Indra’s friend, victorious: bring hither the provisions of them that would play the enemy.

ท่านอยู่เหนือกว่า; ใต้ท่านคือผู้เป็นปฏิปักษ์ทั้งหลาย—ข้าแต่พระราชา ผู้ใดก็ตามที่เป็นศัตรูผู้ต่อต้านท่าน. โคผู้ผู้เดียว อินทระสหาย ผู้มีชัยชนะ: จงนำเสบียงและของเลี้ยงชีพของผู้ที่คิดจะเป็นศัตรูมาสู่ที่นี่เถิด.
