Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

सिन्धो॑रिव प्राध्व॒ने शू॑घ॒नासो॒ वात॑प्रमियः पतयन्ति य॒ह्वाः । घृ॒तस्य॒ धारा॑ अरु॒षो न वा॒जी काष्ठा॑ भि॒न्दन्नू॒र्मिभि॒: पिन्व॑मानः

Transliteration

síndhor iva prādhváne śū́ghanāso vā́ta-pramiyáḥ patayanti yahvā́ḥ | ghṛtásya dhā́rā aruṣó ná vājī kā́ṣṭhā bhindánn ū́rmibhiḥ pínvamānaḥ ||

Translation

Wie die Strömungen des Sindhu auf ihrem Vorwärtsweg, schnellstirnig, vom Wind getrieben, schießen die Mächtigen dahin. Die Ströme des ghr̥ta — wie ein rötlicher Renner — die Grenzen durchbrechend, von ihren Wogen anschwellend, eilen weiter.
