Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

आ द्विबर्हा अमिनो यात्विन्द्रो वृषा हरिभ्यां परिषिक्तमन्धः । गव्या सुतस्य प्रभृतस्य मध्वः सत्रा खेदामरुशहा वृषस्व ॥

Transliteration

ā́ dvi-bárhā amíno yā́tv índro vṛ́ṣā háribhyāṃ páriṣiktam ándhaḥ | gavyā́ sutásya prábhṛtasya mádhvaḥ satrā́ khédām aruśa-hā́ vṛṣasva ||

Translation

Que venga Indra, el toro de doble grandeza, inconmovible, con sus dos corceles leonados, hacia el gozo del Soma derramado en torno. Con la dulzura nacida de la vaca, del miel (madhu) prensado y ofrecido, crece en fuerza, oh matador de los rojizos (poderes del desorden), y vence de una vez todo cansancio.
