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
Vós que perfurais e vos apegais — quer agarreis pelo ombro, pelos membros, como agulhas, quer firaís com ferrões ocultos — ó Invisíveis, aqui não tendes lugar. Todos juntos, sede rechaçados para baixo e subjugados.
