Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अरावीदंशुः सचमान ऊर्मिणा देवाव्यं मनुषे पिन्वति त्वचम् । दधाति गर्भमदितेरुपस्थ आ येन तोकं च तनयं च धामहे ॥

Transliteration

arā́vīd aṃśúḥ sácamāna ūrmíṇā devāvyàṃ mánuṣe pinvati tvácam | dádhāti gárbham áditeḥ upástha ā́ yéna tokáṃ ca tánayaṃ ca dhā́mahe ||

Translation

Le rayon a mugi, se mouvant avec la vague ; pour l’homme il enfle la « peau » en quête des dieux, la nature extérieure. Il dépose l’embryon dans le giron d’Aditi — afin que, par cela, nous tenions l’enfant et la descendance, une demeure fondée dans l’Infini.
