Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्र ते धारा अत्यण्वानि मेष्यः पुनानस्य संयतो यन्ति रंहयः । यद्गोभिरिन्दो चम्वोः समज्यस आ सुवानः सोम कलशेषु सीदसि ॥

Transliteration

prá te dhārā́ áty aṇvā́ni méṣyaḥ punānáasya saṃyató yanti raṃháyaḥ | yád góbhir indo camvóḥ samajyása ā́ suvānáḥ soma kalaśéṣu sīdasi ||

Translation

Para a frente seguem tuas correntes; os rápidos fios sutis correm quando, purificado, és reunido e conduzido pelo curso verdadeiro. Quando, ó Indu, te mesclas aos raios da Luz nas duas taças, então, espremido, ó Soma, assentas nos vasos da realização.
