Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.96.7
Transliteration

araṁ kā́māya hárayo dadhanvire sthirā́ya hinván hárayo hárī turā́ | árvadbhi r yó háribhir jóṣam ī́yate só asya kā́maṁ hárivantam ānaśe ||

Translation

The tawny powers (Indra’s steeds of luminous energy) harness themselves to fulfil the soul’s aspiration; urged toward a stable foundation, the two swift tawny ones surge forward. Whoever comes into the glad consenting companionship with these tawny forces—he wins for himself the desired delight, rich with the energies of the Hari.
