Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

उत स्या नः सरस्वती जुषाणोप श्रवत्सुभगा यज्णे अस्मिन् । मितज्ञुभिर्नमस्यैरियाना राया युजा चिदुत्तरा सखिभ्यः ॥

Transliteration

ut syā naḥ sárasvatī juṣāṇópa śravat su-bhágā yajñé asmín | mitajñúbhir namasyàir iyānā rāyā yujā cid úttarā sákhibhyaḥ ||

Translation

And may she—Sarasvatī—graciously consenting, the bearer of good fortune, hear us and draw near in this sacrifice; moving with our measured knowers and acts of reverence, may she become the higher (uplifting) power for our comrades, even by the yoking of her abundance (rāyā).
