Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
एते नरः स्वपसो अभूतन य इन्द्राय सुनुथ सोममद्रयः । वामंवामं वो दिव्याय धाम्ने वसुवसु वः पार्थिवाय सुन्वते ॥
Transliteration
eté naraḥ svápaso abhūtana yá índrāya sunútha sómam ádrayaḥ | vā́mam-vā́maṃ vo divyā́ya dhā́mne vásu-vasu vaḥ pārthivā́ya sunvaté ||
Translation
You have become these effective powers, O strong ones—pressing the Soma for Indra, O stones. Give each desirable good to the heavenly home, and each richness also to the earthly presser: let both planes be filled by the flow of delight.
