Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration

prá vo vāyúṃ rathayújaṃ kṛṇudhvaṃ prá deváṃ vípraṃ panitā́ram arkáiḥ | iṣudhyáva ṛtasā́paḥ purandhī́r vasvī́r no átra patnī́r ā dhíye dhuḥ ||

Translation

Jungi para vós Vāyu, unido ao carro; colocai à frente, com hinos, o deus vipra, o despertador que acende o deleite. Ó potências prontas como flechas, companheiras do ṛta (Verdade e Ordem), que as ricas purandhī (cumprimentos, doadoras de plenitude), aqui como nossas potências-esposas, sejam postas em nossa dhī para o seu crescimento.
