Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

ए॒ता अ॑र्षन्ति॒ हृद्या॑त्समु॒द्राच्छ॒तव्र॑जा रि॒पुणा॒ नाव॒चक्षे॑ । घृ॒तस्य॒ धारा॑ अ॒भि चा॑कशीमि हिर॒ण्ययो॑ वेत॒सो मध्य॑ आसाम्

Transliteration

etā́ arṣanti hṛ́dyāt samudrā́c chatá-vrajā ripúṇā ná avacákṣe | ghṛtásya dhā́rā abhí cākāśīmi hiraṇyáyo vetáso mádhya āsām ||

Translation

இவை இதயத்திலிருந்து, சமுத்திரத்திலிருந்து, நூறு வழிகளையுடையவையாகப் பாய்ந்து வருகின்றன; பகைவன் அவற்றைத் தாழ்த்துமாறு காண இயலான். நெய்யின் (க்ஷீர-நெய்) ஓடைகள்—அவற்றை நான் நிலைத்த பார்வையால் காண்கிறேன்—பொன்னிறம் கொண்டவை, வேதஸ (நாணல்) போன்றவை, அவற்றின் நடுவில்.
