Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 9.69.3
Transliteration

ávyē vadhū-yúḥ pavate pári tváci śrathnī́te náptīr áditer ṛtáṃ yaté | hárir akrān yajatáḥ saṃyató mádo nṛmnā́ śiśāno mahiṣó ná śobhate ||

Translation

บนขนแกะเขาไหลไป ปรารถนาเจ้าสาว—เขาเวียนรอบผิวหนัง คลายบุตรีของอทิติ (Aditi) และดำเนินไปตามหนทางแห่ง ṛta (ระเบียบอันเที่ยงธรรมของจักรวาล). ผู้มีสีทองปนน้ำตาลก้าวย่าง ผู้ควรบูชา ความปีติที่ควบคุมตนเอง; เขาลับคมด้วยพลังแห่งเดชภายใน แล้วส่องประกายดุจมหากระทิง.
