Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
इयमेषाममृतानां गीः सर्वताता ये कृपणन्त रत्नम् । धियं च यज्ञं च साधन्तस्ते नो धान्तु वसव्यमसामि ॥
Transliteration
iyám eṣām amṛ́tānāṃ gī́ḥ sarvatā́tā yé kṛ́paṇanta rátnaṃ | dhíyaṃ ca yajñáṃ ca sā́dhantas té no dhāntu vasavyám asāmi ||
Translation
ಇದು ಅಮೃತ ದೇವತೆಗಳ ಸರ್ವವ್ಯಾಪಿ ಗೀತೆ—ಅವರು ರತ್ನವನ್ನು ಪೋಷಿಸುವವರು. ಅವರು ಧೀ (ಪ್ರೇರಿತ ಬುದ್ಧಿ)ಯನ್ನೂ ಯಜ್ಞವನ್ನೂ ಎರಡನ್ನೂ ಸಾಧಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ; ಅವರು ನಮ್ಮೊಳಗೆ ವಸು-ಭಾವವನ್ನು ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಲಿ—ನಾವು ಆ ಪೂರ್ಣತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನೆಲೆಸೋಣ.
