Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration
háva eṣām ásuro nakṣata dyā́ṃ śravasyatā́ mánasā niṃsata kṣā́m | cákṣāṇā yátra suvitā́ya devā́ dyáur na vārébhiḥ kṛṇávanta sváiḥ ||
Translation
O chamado desses poderes alcança o Céu; com uma mente que busca a escuta verdadeira, eles tocam e moldam a Terra. Onde veem o caminho do bom êxito, os deuses estabelecem a sua própria amplidão — como o Céu é erguido por seus devidos sustentos.
