Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
एते सोमा अभि गव्या सहस्रा महे वाजायामृताय श्रवांसि । पवित्रेभिः पवमाना असृग्रञ्छ्रवस्यवो न पृतनाजो अत्याः ॥
Transliteration
eté sómā abhí gavyā́ sahásrā mahé vājā́yāmṛ́tāya śrávāṃsi | pavítrebhíḥ pavamānā asṛgran śravasyávo ná pṛtanā́jo átyāḥ ||
Translation
Эти Сомы устремляются к тысячекратным лучам, к великой полноте силы, к бессмертию и к дарам вдохновенного слышания. Очищаясь через цедила, они хлынули наружу — жаждущие светлой славы, как боевые скакуны, быстрые кони.
