Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
य उक्थेभिर्न विन्धते चिकिद्य ऋषिचोदनः । इन्द्रं तमच्छा वद नव्यस्या मत्यरिष्यन्तं न भोजसे ॥
Transliteration
yá ukthebhír ná vindháte cikíd yá ṛṣi-códanaḥ | índraṃ tám ácchā vada návyasyā matír áriṣyantaṃ ná bhojase ||
Translation
जो केवळ उक्थांनी (स्तुतिपाठांनी) ध्येय मिळवत नाही, पण जाणतो—ज्याला ऋषि-प्रेरणा चालवते—त्या इंद्राला सरळ संबोधून बोल. नवी मति (विचार) त्याच्याकडे जावो—अविनाशी—जी त्याच्या शक्तीच्या सत्य भोगाचा (सहभागाचा) शोध घेते।
