Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

उज्जायतां परशुर्ज्योतिषा सह भूया ऋतस्य सुदुघा पुराणवत् । वि रोचतामरुषो भानुना शुचिः स्वर्ण शुक्रं शुशुचीत सत्पतिः ॥

Transliteration

úd jāyatāṃ paráśur jyótiṣā sahá bhūyā́ ṛtásya su-dughā́ purāṇá-vat | ví rocatām aruṣó bhānúnā śúciḥ svàrṇa śukráṃ śuśucīta sát-patiḥ ||

Translation

Aufwärts werde die spaltende Kraft geboren, zugleich mit dem Licht; wieder, wie in alter Zeit, werde die reichlich melkende des Ṛta. Der Rötliche strahle hervor mit reinem Glanz; der Herr des Wahren hat inwendig den hellen Schein der Sonnenwelt entzündet.
