Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.126.3

úpa mā śyāvā́ḥ svanáyena dattā́ vadhū́manto dáśa ráthāso asthuḥ | ṣaṣṭíḥ sahásram ánu gavyám ā́gāt sánat kakṣī́vān abhipitvé áhnām ||

Near to me came the dark-brown gifts, given with their own sounding; ten chariots stood, rich with bride-like fullness. Sixty thousand followed as radiant ‘cattle’—and Kakṣīvān won enduringly the companionship of the days (the stable rhythm of time).
