Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अरूरुचदुषसः पृश्निरग्रिय उक्षा बिभर्ति भुवनानि वाजयुः । मायाविनो ममिरे अस्य मायया नृचक्षसः पितरो गर्भमा दधुः ॥

Transliteration

arū́rucad uṣásaḥ pṛ́śnir agriyá ukṣā́ bibharti bhúvanāni vāja-yúḥ | māyāvíno mamire asya māyáyā nṛ-cákṣasaḥ pitáro gárbham ā́ dadhúḥ ||

Translation

Yang bertompok-tompok itu bersinar pada Fajar, yang terawal di hadapan; Sang Lembu Jantan, yang menghendaki vāja, menegakkan alam-alam. Dengan māyā-nya, para empunya penglihatan mengukur dia; para Bapa yang berpandangan-insani meletakkan benih-janin di dalam—menetapkan kegembiraan yang akan lahir dalam diri kami.
