Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration
prá vīrā́ya prá taváse turā́ya ā́jā yū́theva paśurákṣir ástam | sá pispṛśati tanví śrutásya stṛ́bhir ná nā́kaṃ vacanásya vípaḥ ||
Translation
વીર માટે આગળ, બળવાન માટે આગળ, ત્વરિત માટે આગળ—યૂથના રક્ષક જેમ ગૃહ તરફ જાઓ. તે પોતાના દેહમાં શ્રુતિના પરિપૂર્ણતાને સ્પર્શે છે; વાણીના દૃઢ પગલાંઓથી પ્રેરિત વિપઃ જેમ નાક (સ્વર્ગ) સુધી પહોંચે છે તેમ.
