Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
अव नो वृजिना शिशीह्यृचा वनेमानृचः । नाब्रह्मा यज्ञ ऋधग्जोषति त्वे ॥
Samhita Patha (IAST)
अव॑ नो वृजि॒ना शि॑शीह्यृ॒चा व॑नेमा॒नृच॑: । नाब्र॑ह्मा य॒ज्ञ ऋध॒ग्जोष॑ति॒ त्वे ॥
Transliteration
áva no vṛjinā́ śiśīhy ṛcā́ vanemā́nṛcaḥ | nábrahmā yajñá ṛ́dhag jóṣati tvé ||
Translation
Sharpen away from us the crookedness of false movement; by the true utterance may we win, not being without the Word. Let not the sacrifice, lacking the brahman-force, take delight apart from thee.
