Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.33.8
Transliteration

cakrāṇā́saḥ parīṇáhaṃ pṛthivyā́ hiráṇyena maṇínā śúmbhamānāḥ | na hinvāṇā́sas titirús ta índraṃ pári spáśo adadhāt sū́ryeṇa ||

Translation

They, taking up the encircling girdle of the Earth, shining with the golden jewel (of luminous being), could not by their impulsions overpass Indra; around him the watchers set a ring with the Sun—so that the light guards the Lord of the force.
