Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

ततं मे अपस्तदु तायते पुनः स्वादिष्ठा धीतिरुचथाय शस्यते । अयं समुद्र इह विश्वदेव्यः स्वाहाकृतस्य समु तृप्णुत ऋभवः ॥

Transliteration

tatáṃ me ápaḥ tád u tāyate púnar svādiṣṭhā dhītír ucáthāya śasyate | ayáṃ samudrá ihá viśvádevyaḥ svāhākṛtásya sám u tṛpṇuta ṛ́bhavaḥ ||

Translation

Das Werk, das ich ausgespannt habe — wahrlich, es spannt sich immer wieder aus; die süßeste Eingebung wird für den Hymnus des Vortrags verkündet. Hier ist der Ozean in diesem allgöttlichen Bereich; o Ṛbhus, sättigt euch ganz an dem, was mit dem Ruf „svāhā“ dargebracht ist.
