Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
आकरे वसोर्जरिता पनस्यतेऽनेहसः स्तुभ इन्द्रो दुवस्यति । विवस्वतः सदन आ हि पिप्रिये सत्रासाहमभिमातिहनं स्तुहि ॥
Transliteration
ākare vasoḥ jaritā panasyate’nehasaḥ stubha índro duvasyati | vivásvataḥ sádana ā hí pipriyé satrā́sāham abhimāti-hánaṃ stuhi ||
Translation
У истока изобилия певец ищет услады Васу (богатства); восхвалитель, без спешки, благоговейно служит Индре. Ибо в обители Вивасвата он стал исполненным; воспой всегда-побеждающего, сокрушителя враждебных помыслов.
