Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्र वो रयिं युक्ताश्वं भरध्वं राय एषेऽवसे दधीत धीः । सुशेव एवैरौशिजस्य होता ये व एवा मरुतस्तुराणाम् ॥

Transliteration

prá vo rayíṃ yuktā́śvaṃ bharadhvaṃ rāyá eṣé’váse dadhīta dhī́ḥ | suśéva évair auśijásya hótā yé va evā́ marutas turā́ṇām ||

Translation

Apportez pour vous le râyí — la plénitude attelée à des chevaux rapides, richesse d’énergies ; pour cette abondance, que la dhī (pensée inspirée) soit établie en sa juste place, pour le secours. Le Hotṛ bienveillant d’Auśija, par ses puissances d’impulsion, appelle ces mêmes Maruts, rapides dans leur élan, vers notre demeure.
