Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.111.3

ā tákṣata sātím asmábhyam ṛbhavaḥ sātíṃ rathā́ya sātím árvate naraḥ | sātíṃ no jáitrīṃ sáṃ maheta viśvá-hā jāmím ajā́mim pṛ́tanāsu sákṣaṇim ||

O Ṛbhus, fashion for us the winning attainment—an attainment for the chariot of our effort, an attainment for the steed of our life-force, O strong ones. May the conquering attainment grow together for us always, able in the battles, overcoming even what is near and habitual and what is alien and resistant.
