Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

नू रोदसी अभिष्टुते वसिष्ठैॠतावानो वरुणो मित्रो अग्निः । यच्छन्तु चन्द्रा उपमं नो अर्कं यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

Transliteration

nū rodasī abhiṣṭute vasiṣṭhaiḥ ṛtāvāno varuṇo mitro agniḥ | yacchantu candrā upamaṃ no arkaṃ yūyaṃ pāta svastíbhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Translation

હવે, જ્યારે વસિષ્ઠો દ્વારા દ્યાવા-પૃથિવીનું સ્તવન થાય છે, ત્યારે ઋતના ધારક વરુણ, સુમેળ કરનાર મિત્ર અને અગ્નિ પ્રગટ થાય. ચંદ્રસમાન તેજસ્વી શક્તિઓ અમને પરમ અર્ક—પ્રકાશમય સ્તુતિ—અર્પે; અને હે દેવો, તમે સદા સ્વસ્તિભિઃ—કલ્યાણ અને સુરક્ષિત ગતિથી—અમને રક્ષો.
