Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
उत नोऽहिर्बुध्न्यो मयस्कः शिशुं न पिप्युषीव वेति सिन्धुः । येन नपातमपां जुनाम मनोजुवो वृषणो यं वहन्ति ॥
Transliteration
utá no áhir budhnyò mayáskaḥ śíśuṃ ná pipyúṣīva veti síndhuḥ | yéná napātam apā́ṃ junā́ma manojúvo vṛ́ṣaṇo yáṃ váhanti ||
Translation
अहि बुध्न्य हमारे लिए आए, जो नीचे रहता है, सुख देता है। वो ऐसे चले जैसे नदी गाय अपने बच्चे को पालती है। उससे हम अपम नपत को जाग उठाएँ, जिसे तेज़ शक्ति ले के आती हैं।
