Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 7.3.4

ví yasya te pṛthivyā́m pā́jo áśret tṛṣú yád ánnā sam-avṛ́kta jámbhaiḥ | sénāiva sṛṣṭā́ pra-sítis ta étí yávam na dasma júhvā vivekṣi ||

Your might is spread out upon the earth; when with your jaws you have cleared the foods among the dry places. Your forward driving goes like an army released; O wonderful one, with the offering-tongue you separate out the grain—discerning what is to be taken up into the fire.
