Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration
háva eṣām ásuro nakṣata dyā́ṃ śravasyatā́ mánasā niṃsata kṣā́m | cákṣāṇā yátra suvitā́ya devā́ dyáur na vārébhiḥ kṛṇávanta sváiḥ ||
Translation
El llamado de estos poderes alcanza el Cielo; con una mente que anhela la escucha verdadera, tocan y modelan la Tierra. Allí donde ven el camino del buen logro, los dioses afirman su propia anchura — como el Cielo se construye con sus debidos soportes.
