Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अश्वासो न ये ज्येष्ठास आशवो दिधिषवो न रथ्यः सुदानवः । आपो न निम्नैरुदभिर्जिगत्नवो विश्वरूपा अङ्गिरसो न सामभिः ॥

Transliteration

aśvā́so na yé jyéṣṭhāsa āśávo didhiṣávo na rathyàḥ su-dā́naváḥ | ā́po na nimnáir udábhír jigatnávो viśvá-rūpā aṅgíraso na sā́ma-bhiḥ ||

Translation

Como os cavalos da dianteira, são velozes; como combatentes de carro, anseiam pela vitória e dão com abundância. Como as águas por suas encostas e correntes, arremetem para a frente; multiformes, como os Aṅgiras com seus sāman, trazem as harmonias da luz.
