Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

इ॒च्छन्ति॑ त्वा सो॒म्यास॒: सखा॑यः सु॒न्वन्ति॒ सोमं॒ दध॑ति॒ प्रया॑ᳪसि । तिति॑क्षन्ते अ॒भिश॑स्तिं॒ जना॑ना॒मिन्द्र॒ त्वदा कश्च॒न हि प्र॑के॒तः

Transliteration

icchánti tvā somyā́ḥ sakhā́yaḥ sunvánti sómaṃ dádhati práyāṃsi | titíkṣante abhíśastiṃ jánānām índra tvádā́ kaścána hí práketáḥ ||

Translation

சோமத்தை நேசிக்கும் தோழர்கள் உன்னை விரும்புகின்றனர்; அவர்கள் சோமத்தைப் பிழிந்து, ஹவி-ப்ரயாஸங்களை (அர்ப்பணங்களை) முன்வைக்கின்றனர். அவர்கள் மனிதர்களின் அபிசாபத்தைத் தாங்குகின்றனர்; ஓ இந்திரா, வெளிப்படையான வல்லமைவும் ஆலோசனையும் உடைய ஒருவர் நிச்சயமாக உன்னிடமிருந்தே தோன்றுகிறார்.
