Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

परि हि ष्मा पुरुहूतो जनानां विश्वासरद्भोजना पूयमानः । अथा भर श्येनभृत प्रयांसि रयिं तुञ्जानो अभि वाजमर्ष ॥

Transliteration

pári hí ṣmā puruhūtó jánānāṃ víśvāsarad bhójanā pūyamā́naḥ | áthā́ bhara śyenabhṛta práyāṃsi rayíṃ tuñjā́no abhí vā́jam arṣa ||

Translation

Sesungguhnya engkau—yang banyak diseru dalam kalangan manusia—dalam pemurnian beredar mengelilingi segala santapan kegembiraan. Maka bawalah, wahai yang didukung Garuḍa, kurnia-kurniamu yang mendahului; sambil menolak ke hadapan rayi (kelimpahan rohani), mengalirlah menuju vāja (daya kemenangan).
