Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

स हि द्वरो द्वरिषु वव्र ऊधनि चन्द्रबुध्नो मदवृद्धो मनीषिभिः । इन्द्रं तमह्वे स्वपस्यया धिया मंहिष्ठरातिं स हि पप्रिरन्धसः ॥

Transliteration

sá hí dvaró dvaríṣu vavrá ū́dhani candrábudhno mádavṛddho manīṣíbhīḥ | índraṃ tám ahve svapasyáyā dhiyā́ maṃhíṣṭharātiṃ sá hí paprír ándhasaḥ ||

Translation

まことに彼は門を開く者；門口にあっては覆いとなり、乳房（ūdhán）に秘められた宝を守る。月を底（candra-budhna）とし、賢者たちの思惟（manīṣā）によって、歓喜の酔いにより増し広がる。正しき働きへの意志（svapasyā）と光ある知（dhī）をもって、われはそのインドラを呼ぶ——最も豊かに与える者を。彼はソーマ（andhas）の汁に満ち満ちているゆえに。
