Recitation with translationRig Veda 8.96.5

ā́ yád vájraṃ bāhvór indra dhátse madá-cyutam áhaye hántavā́ u | prá párvatā án-avanta prá gā́vaḥ prá bráhmāṇo abhi-nákṣanta índram ||

เมื่อท่านวางวัชระไว้ในท่อนแขนทั้งสอง โอ้อินทรา—พรั่งพรูความปีติแห่งพลังอันไม่คลอนแคลน เพื่อสังหารอสรพิษ—แล้วภูเขาทั้งหลายก็ทานไว้ไม่อยู่; โคแห่งแสง (รัศมี) ก็กรูก้าวหน้า; และพรหมันของฤๅษี—บทสรรเสริญและมนตร์—ก็มุ่งเข้าไปเผชิญอินทรา.
