Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

एकस्मिन्योगे भुरणा समाने परि वां सप्त स्रवतो रथो गात् । न वायन्ति सुभ्वो देवयुक्ता ये वां धूर्षु तरणयो वहन्ति ॥

Transliteration

ékasmin yóge bhuraṇā samāné pári vāṃ saptá sraváto rátho gāt | ná vāyanti su-bhváḥ deva-yúktā yé vāṃ dhū́rṣu taraṇáyo váhanti ||

Translation

Dans un seul attelage, dans le même élan de puissance, votre char s’avance, enveloppant les sept courants. Ils ne faiblissent pas, les coursiers bien assis, attelés aux dieux — ces porteurs rapides qui vous portent sur les timons.
