Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्र यत्सिन्धवः प्रसवं यथायन्नापः समुद्रं रथ्येव जग्मुः । अतश्चिदिन्द्रः सदसो वरीयान्यदीं सोमः पृणति दुग्धो अंशुः ॥

Transliteration

prá yát síndhavaḥ pra-saváṃ yáthā́yan ā́paḥ samudráṃ rathyèva jagmúḥ | atáś cid índraḥ sádaso várīyān yád īṃ sómaḥ pṛṇáti dúgdhó aṃśúḥ ||

Translation

Ketika sungai-sungai melaju dalam arus pendorongnya, ketika air menuju samudra laksana kereta di jalan—bahkan dari hal itu Indra menjadi lebih luas daripada sidang, ketika Soma, tangkai terang yang telah diperah, memenuhi dirinya.
