Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

एवेन्द्राग्निभ्यामहावि हव्यं शूष्यं घृतं न पूतमद्रिभिः । ता सूरिषु श्रवो बृहद्रयिं गृणत्सु दिधृतमिषं गृणत्सु दिधृतम् ॥

Transliteration

evéndrāgní-bhyām áhāvi havyaṃ śū́ṣyaṃ ghṛtáṃ na pūtám ádri-bhiḥ | tā sūríṣu śrávo bṛhád rayíṃ gṛṇát-su didhṛtám íṣaṃ gṛṇát-su didhṛtám ||

Translation

Ainsi, pour Indra et Agni, l’offrande a été versée — telle une douceur clarifiée, purifiée par les pierres du pressurage, une force qui mûrit. Que tous deux établissent parmi les chefs généreux une vaste renommée et la plénitude des richesses ; qu’ils soutiennent chez ceux qui chantent l’élan de la nourriture, qu’ils le soutiennent chez ceux qui chantent.
