Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
प्र ते मदासो मदिरास आशवोऽसृक्षत रथ्यासो यथा पृथक् । धेनुर्न वत्सं पयसाभि वज्रिणमिन्द्रमिन्दवो मधुमन्त ऊर्मयः ॥
Transliteration
prá te madā́so madirā́sa āśávo ’sṛkṣata rathyā́so yáthā pṛ́thak | dhenúr na vatsáṃ páyasā́bhi vajríṇam índram índavo mádhu-manta ū́rmayaḥ ||
Translation
نشواتُكَ السريعة، يا سوما—تيّاراتٌ مُسكِرة—قد أُطلِقَت، كالعرباتِ تتفرّقُ في مسالكها. وكبقرةٍ إلى عِجلِها باللبن، تضغطُ الأمواجُ المملوءةُ عسلًا نحو إندرا، حاملِ الفَجْرَا (الصاعقة)، لتُثبّتَ قوّتَه الظافرةَ فينا.
