Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

ए॒ता अ॑र्षन्ति॒ हृद्या॑त्समु॒द्राच्छ॒तव्र॑जा रि॒पुणा॒ नाव॒चक्षे॑ । घृ॒तस्य॒ धारा॑ अ॒भि चा॑कशीमि हिर॒ण्ययो॑ वेत॒सो मध्य॑ आसाम्

Transliteration

etā́ arṣanti hṛ́dyāt samudrā́c chatá-vrajā ripúṇā ná avacákṣe | ghṛtásya dhā́rā abhí cākāśīmi hiraṇyáyo vetáso mádhya āsām ||

Translation

ये (धाराएँ) हृदय से, समुद्र से, सौ मार्गों वाली, बह निकलती हैं; शत्रु उन्हें ऐसा नहीं देख पाता कि उन्हें नीचा कर दे। घृत की धाराएँ—इन्हें मैं स्थिर दृष्टि से देखता हूँ—स्वर्णमयी, वेतस (सरकंडे) के समान, इनके मध्य में।
