Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

या सुजूर्णिः श्रेणिः सुम्नआपिर्ह्रदेचक्षुर्न ग्रन्थिनी चरण्युः । ता अञ्जयोऽरुणयो न सस्रुः श्रिये गावो न धेनवोऽनवन्त ॥

Transliteration

yā su-jūrṇíḥ śréṇiḥ sumné’āpír hradé-cákṣur ná granthinī́ caraṇyúḥ | tā́ añjáyo’ruṇáyo ná sasruḥ śríye gā́vo ná dhenávo’navanta ||

Translation

Те быстроводные ряды, исполненные благого дара, с видением в сердце, не спутанные узлом, но свободно движущиеся,— как рыжеватые мази, они струятся; ради красоты и приумножения они приходят, как коровы, как дойные кормилицы, что не иссякают.
