Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

यद्वां कक्षीवाँ उत यद्व्यश्व ऋषिर्यद्वां दीर्घतमा जुहाव । पृथी यद्वां वैन्यः सादनेष्वेवेदतो अश्विना चेतयेथाम् ॥

Transliteration

yád vāṃ kakṣī́vāṃ uta yád vyàśva ṛ́ṣir yád vāṃ dīrghátamā juhā́va | pṛthī́ yád vāṃ vainyáḥ sā́daneṣv evéd áto aśvinā cetayethām ||

Translation

لأنّ كَكْشِيفان قد دعاكما، ولأنّ الرائي ڤيَشْڤا قد دعاكما، ولأنّ دِيرْغَتَمَس قد ابتهل إليكما، ولأنّ پْرِثِي ڤَيْنْيَ كذلك (دعاكما) في مقاعد السُّكنى—فلهذا، يا أشفين، انتبها لنا وكونا مُصغِيَيْن حتى الآن.
