Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration

barhír vā yát svapatyā́ya vṛ́jyate 'rkó vā ślókаm āghóṣate diví | grā́vā yátra vádati kā́rur ukthyàḥ tásyed índro abhipitvéṣu raṇyati ||

Translation

Where the sacred seat is spread for the bringing of true progeny, or where the chant is made to resound in heaven; where the pressing-stone speaks and the inspired singer utters the hymn—there indeed Indra takes delight among the intimate fulfillments.
