Devata: Indra
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
न सीमदेव आपदिषं दीर्घायो मर्त्यः । एतग्वा चिद्य एतशा युयोजते हरी इन्द्रो युयोजते ॥
Transliteration
ná sīmádeva āpádiṣaṃ dīrghāyó mártyaḥ | étagvā cid yá étaśā yuyójate hárī índro yuyójate ||
Translation
ผู้เป็นมนุษย์ผู้ไร้ใจมุ่งสู่เทพ ย่อมไม่บรรลุแรงเร่งเร้าอันนำไปสู่ชีวิตยืนยาว; แต่แม้ผู้ว่องไวก็ยังอาจเทียม “ฮารี” (harī) สองตัว—พลังสีเหลืองน้ำตาลนั้นได้. แท้จริงอินทราย่อมเทียมมันเพื่อการเดินทาง.
