Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

ततं मे अपस्तदु तायते पुनः स्वादिष्ठा धीतिरुचथाय शस्यते । अयं समुद्र इह विश्वदेव्यः स्वाहाकृतस्य समु तृप्णुत ऋभवः ॥

Transliteration

tatáṃ me ápaḥ tád u tāyate púnar svādiṣṭhā dhītír ucáthāya śasyate | ayáṃ samudrá ihá viśvádevyaḥ svāhākṛtásya sám u tṛpṇuta ṛ́bhavaḥ ||

Translation

งานที่ข้าพเจ้าได้แผ่ขยายไว้—แท้จริงย่อมแผ่ต่อไปครั้งแล้วครั้งเล่า; ดำริอันดื่มด่ำที่สุดแห่งแรงบันดาลใจ ถูกประกาศเพื่อบทสรรเสริญอันขับขาน. ที่นี่คือมหาสมุทร ในแดนซึ่งเป็นของเทพทั้งปวง; โอ ฤภุ (Ṛbhus) ทั้งหลาย จงอิ่มเอมโดยสิ้นเชิงด้วยเครื่องบูชาที่ถวายพร้อมเสียง “svāhā”.
