Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
नास्मै विद्युन्न तन्यतुः सिषेध न यां मिहमकिरद्ध्रादुनिं च । इन्द्रश्च यद्युयुधाते अहिश्चोतापरीभ्यो मघवा वि जिग्ये ॥
Transliteration
nā́ asmai vidyút na tányatuḥ siṣedha ná yā́m míham ákirad hrā́duniṃ ca | índraś ca yád yuyudhā́te áhiś cotā́parībhyo maghávā ví jigye ||
Translation
बिजली भी इंद्र को रोक नहीं पाई, न ही बादल की घटाई। जब इंद्र और उस बड़े साँप ने लड़ाई की, तो इंद्र जीत गया। वो ऐसे ही सब बंधन तोड़ के आगे बढ़ गया।
