Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration

hótā yakṣad vanaspátiṃ śamitā́raṃ śatákratuṃ dhiyó jóṣṭāram indriyám | mádhvā samañján pathíbhiḥ sugébhiḥ svádāti yajñáṃ mádhunā ghṛténa vétv ā́jyasya hótar yája

Translation

Biarlah Hotṛ memuja Vanaspati—penenteram, yang berdaya seratus, penyokong pikiran suci kita, kekuatan yang laksana Indra. Dengan kemanisan, setelah mengurapi dengan semestinya melalui jalan-jalan yang mudah dilalui, ia menjadikan yajña berasa nikmat dengan madu dan dengan ghee; semoga ia memperoleh Ājya. Wahai Hotṛ, persembahkanlah!
