Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
ये अंस्या ये अङ्ग्याः सूचीका ये प्रकङ्कताः । अदृष्टाः किं चनेह वः सर्वे साकं नि जस्यत ॥
Transliteration
yé aṃsyā́ yé aṅgyā́ḥ sūcīkā́ yé prá-kaṅkatā́ḥ | adṛ́ṣṭāḥ kíṃ canéha vaḥ sárve sākáṃ ní jasyata ||
Translation
Wy, które przeszywacie i przylegacie - czy chwytacie za ramię, za członki, czy jak igły, czy uderzacie ukrytymi żądłami - o niewidzialne, nie macie tu miejsca. Wszystkie razem bądźcie strącone w dół i ujarzmione.
