Transliteration
parāyátīṃ mātáram ánv acaṣṭa ná nā́nu gā́ni ánu nū́ gamāni | tváṣṭur gṛhé apibat sómam índraḥ śatá-dhanyaṃ camvóḥ sutásya ||
Translation
সে পলায়মান মাকে লক্ষ্য করল, (বলল)—‘না, আমি সাধারণ পদচিহ্ন ধরে অনুসরণ করব না; এখন আমি প্রচলিত পথে যাব না।’ ত্বষ্টৃর গৃহে ইন্দ্র সোম পান করলেন—চমূতে নিংড়ানো, শতধন্য, সমৃদ্ধিদায়ক রস।
