Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्र मातुः प्रतरं गुह्यमिच्छन्कुमारो न वीरुधः सर्पदुर्वीः । ससं न पक्वमविदच्छुचन्तं रिरिह्वांसं रिप उपस्थे अन्तः ॥

Transliteration

prá mātuḥ prá-taraṁ gúhyam icchán kumāró na vīrúdhaḥ sárpad urvī́ḥ | sasáṁ na pákvam ávidac chucántaṁ ririhvā́ṃsaṁ ripá upásthe ántaḥ ||

Translation

Cherchant ce qui est plus caché que la Mère, le Jeune rampa, tel une plante, sur les vastes étendues. Il trouva, comme une tige mûre — resplendissante —, léchant au-dedans, sur le giron de l’ennemi.
