Nina is chanting this suktam in the recitation-style of veda for which there is a specific transliteration including phonetics, intonation, etc. which she received from her teacher at VedaStudies.com
“I move with roaring, howling, and radiant might
I move with the infinite, and nature’s powers
I hold the love of the Lord of Lords
I hold the fire of the soul, I hold life and healing
I am the Queen, gatherer of abundance,
Knowing and wise, always supreme in worship.
Divine powers appointed me in all places;
I have many homes, I enter many forms”Jean Le Mée, Hymns of the Rig Veda
