Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration
prá te madā́so madirā́sa āśávo ’sṛkṣata rathyā́so yáthā pṛ́thak | dhenúr na vatsáṃ páyasā́bhi vajríṇam índram índavo mádhu-manta ū́rmayaḥ ||
Translation
Your swift ecstasies, O Soma—intoxicating currents—have been released like chariots fanning out on their ways. Like a cow to her calf with milk, the honey-full waves press toward Indra the wielder of the thunderbolt, to strengthen his victorious force in us.
