Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
कु॒विद॒ङ्ग यव॑मन्तो॒ यव॑ञ्चि॒द्यथा॒ दान्त्य॑नुपू॒र्वं वि॒यूय॑ । इ॒हेहै॑षां कृणुहि॒ भोज॑नानि॒ ये ब॒र्हिषो॒ नम॑ उक्तिं॒ यज॑न्ति
Transliteration
kuvíd aṅgá yávamanto yávaṃ cid yáthā dā́nty anupū́rvaṃ viyū́ya | ihéháiṣāṃ kṛṇuhi bhójanāni yé barhíṣo náma uktíṃ yájanti
Translation
সত্যিই কি যাদের যব আছে, তারা যেভাবে যব দান করা হয় সেভাবেই তা ভাগ করে ক্রমানুসারে বণ্টন করে? এখানে—এইখানেই—তাদের জন্য ভোজনাংশ স্থির করে দাও, যারা বর্হিষে নমস্কার ও উচ্চারিত স্তুতিবাক্যসহ যজন করে।
