Samhita Patha (Devanagari) उ॒त स्मा॑स्य॒ द्रुव॑तस्तुरण्य॒तः प॒र्णं न वेरनु॑वाति प्रग॒र्धिन॑: । श्ये॒नस्ये॑व॒ ध्रज॑तो अङ्क॒सं परि॑ दधि॒क्राव्ण॑: स॒होर्जा तरि॑त्रत॒: स्वाहा॑
Transliteration utá smā́syá drúvatas turaṇyatáḥ párṇaṃ ná vér ánvavāti pragardhínaḥ | śyenásyeva dhrájató aṅkásaṃ pári dadhikrā́vṇaḥ sáhorjā́ tárītrataḥ svā́hā
Translation അതെ, സ്ഥിരവും വേഗവുമായ് ഓടുന്ന അവനെ പ്രചണ്ഡമായ കാറ്റ് പിന്തുടരുന്നു—പക്ഷിയുടെ പിന്നാലെ ഇല പറക്കുന്നതുപോലെ. പറക്കലിൽ വളഞ്ഞിറങ്ങുന്ന ശ്യേനൻ (പരുന്ത്)യുടെ ഝപാതംപോലെ, ദധിക്രാവൺ അതിനെ ചുറ്റിപ്പിടിക്കുന്നു—ബലത്താലും ധാരകമായ ഊർജ്ജത്താലും, കടത്തിക്കൊണ്ടുപോകുന്ന രക്ഷകനുപോലെ: സ്വാഹാ!
