Sama Veda — Uttarārcika, Mantra 1
Aindra praise of Indra’s vast power, framed within the sacrificial order and its enabling deities
महे नो अद्य बोधयोषो राये दिवित्मती यथा चिन्नो अबोधयः सत्यश्रवसि वाय्ये सुजाते अश्वसूनृते
mahe no adya bodhayoṣo rāye divitmatī yathā cinno abodhayaḥ satyaśravasi vāyye sujāte aśvasūnṛte
máhe no adyá bodhayoṣo rā́ye divitmátī yáthā cit no abódhayaḥ satyáśravasi vā́yye sujā́te aśvasū́nṛte
今日请唤醒我们吧，乌莎斯（Uṣas，曙光女神），为那伟大的福祉、为财富——你在天中光辉灿然；正如你往昔曾唤醒我们一般。噢，真实闻名者，噢，天之女（vāyye），善生者，赐予骏马与苏尼尔塔（sūnṛtā，吉祥之言/恩惠）者。
