Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
तं त्वा हस्तिनो मधुमन्तमद्रिभिर्दुहन्त्यप्सु वृषभं दश क्षिपः । इन्द्रं सोम मादयन्दैव्यं जनं सिन्धोरिवोर्मिः पवमानो अर्षसि ॥
Transliteration
táṃ tvā hastíno mádhumantam ádribhir duhánty apsú vṛṣabháṃ dáśa kṣípaḥ | índraṃ soma mādayan daívyam jánaṃ síndhor ivormíḥ pavamāno arṣasi ||
Translation
Thee, full of sweetness, the skilful hands draw out with the stones—within the waters—the bull from the ten fingers. O Soma, making Indra glad, gladdening the divine people within us, thou rushest purified like a wave of the river.
