Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
प्रो अयासीदिन्दुरिन्द्रस्य निष्कृतं सखा सख्युर्न प्र मिनाति संगिरम् । मर्य इव युवतिभिः समर्षति सोमः कलशे शतयाम्ना पथा ॥
Transliteration
pró ayāsīd índur índrasya niṣkṛtáṃ sakhā sakhyúr ná prá mināti saṃgíram | márya iva yuvatíbhiḥ sám arṣati sómaḥ kalaśé śatáyāmnā pathā ||
Translation
インドゥ（Indu）は前へと進み、インドラ（Indra）のために整えられた場へ至った。友として、友情の契約を破ることはない。若き恋人が乙女たち（養う水）とともに馳せ寄るように、ソーマ（Soma）は百の水路の道を通って、カラシャ（kalasha）の鉢へと流れ入る。
