Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

नम॒ः सु ते॑ निरृते तिग्मतेजोऽय॒स्मयं॒ वि चृ॑ता ब॒न्धमे॒तम् । य॒मेन॒ त्वं य॒म्या सं॑विदा॒नोत्त॒मे ना॒के अधि॑ रोहयैनम्

Transliteration

námaḥ su te nirṛte tigmátejo ’yasmáyaṃ ví cṛtā bandhám etám | yaména tvaṃ yamyā saṃvidānóttame nā́ke ádhi rohayaínam

Translation

ഹേ നിരൃതി, തീക്ഷ്ണതേജസ്സുള്ളവളേ, നിനക്കു നമസ്കാരം. ഈ ഇരുമ്പുബന്ധം—മുറിച്ചുതുറന്ന്—അഴിയട്ടെ. യമനോടും യമിയോടും സംവിദയിൽ (സമ്മതത്തിൽ) ഉള്ള നീ, അവനെ ഉയർത്തി കയറ്റുക—പരമ നാകത്തിൽ, ഏറ്റവും ഉന്നത സ്വർഗത്തിൽ—സ്ഥാപിക്ക.
