Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

इम इन्द्र भरतस्य पुत्रा अपपित्वं चिकितुर्न प्रपित्वम् । हिन्वन्त्यश्वमरणं न नित्यं ज्यावाजं परि णयन्त्याजौ ॥

Transliteration

imá indra bharatásya putrā́ apapitváṃ cikitúr ná prapitvám | hinvánty aśvám áraṇaṃ ná nítyaṃ jyā́-vājaṃ pári nayanty ājāú ||

Translation

Ces fils de Bharata, ô Indra, ont appris l’art de ne pas déchoir, de ne pas décliner. Ils poussent le cheval infatigable, non celui qui faiblit sans cesse; dans la bataille ils conduisent, vers la victoire, la force de plénitude, puissante comme une corde d’arc.
