Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration
prá vātā́ vā́nti patáyanti vi-dyúta ud óṣadhī́r jíhate pínvate svàḥ | irā́ víśvasmai bhúvanāya jāyate yát párjanyaḥ pṛthivī́ṃ rétasā́vati ||
Translation
Ke hadapan hembusan-embusan angin mula bergerak; kilat-kilat melompat dan berlari. Tumbuhan ubatan bangkit dan terjaga; langit dibuat mengembang oleh kelimpahannya. Kuasa penyubur lahir bagi seluruh kewujudan, apabila Parjanya mencurahkan benih penciptaannya ke atas Bumi.
