Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

सर्वे॑ निमे॒षा ज॑ज्ञिरे वि॒द्युत॒: पुरु॑षा॒दधि॑ । नै॑नमू॒र्ध्वं न ति॒र्यञ्चं॒ न मध्ये॒ परि॑ जग्रभत्

Transliteration

sárve nimeṣā́ jajñire vidyútaḥ púruṣād ádhi | náinam ūrdhvám ná tiryáñcaṃ ná madhyé pári jagrabhāt

Translation

ಎಲ್ಲಾ ನಿಮೇಷಗಳು ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ತಿನಿಂದ, ಪುರುಷನಿಂದ ಜನಿಸಿದವು. ಅವನನ್ನು ಯಾರೂ ಆವರಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ—ಮೇಲಿನಿಂದಲೂ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಅಡ್ಡವಾಗಿಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲ—ಎಲ್ಲೆಡೆಯಿಂದ ಹಿಡಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವಂತೆ.
