Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

saṃśitó raśmínā ráthaḥ saṃśitó raśmínā háyaḥ | saṃśitó apsv apsujā́ bráhmā sómapurogavaḥ
Translation
ਰਸ਼ਮਿਨਾ (ਲਗਾਮ/ਰਸ਼ਮੀ) ਨਾਲ ਰਥ ਤੀਖ਼ਾ (ਸੰਸ਼ਿਤ) ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ; ਰਸ਼ਮਿਨਾ ਨਾਲ ਹਯ (ਘੋੜਾ) ਤੀਖ਼ਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ। ਅਪ੍ਸੁਜਾ (ਜਲ-ਜਨਿਤ) ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਵੀ ਤੀਖ਼ੀ ਹੈ—ਸੋਮ ਨੂੰ ਪੁਰੋਗਵ (ਅਗਵਾਈ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ) ਰੱਖਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ।
