Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration

yadā́rám ákrann ṛbhávaḥ pitṛ́bhyāṃ pári-viṣṭī veṣáṇā daṃsánābhiḥ | ā́did devā́nām úpa sakhyám ā́yan dhī́rāsaḥ púṣṭim avahan mánāyai ||

Translation

Cuando los Rbhus forjaron lo que era debido para los dos Padres — los asientos envolventes y el adorno por sus poderes de destreza — entonces se acercaron a la amistad de los dioses. Los videntes de visión firme trajeron aumento y sustento para el deleite de la mente.
