Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
मा सीमवद्य आ भागुर्वी काष्ठा हितं धनम् । अपावृक्ता अरत्नयः ॥
Transliteration
mā sīm avádyé ā́ bhāk urvī́ kā́ṣṭhā hitáṃ dhánam | apā́vṛktā aratnáyaḥ ||
Translation
ขออย่าให้เขาทั้งหลายมีส่วนในสิ่งอันน่าติเตียน; เสาประตูอันกว้างใหญ่ตั้งอยู่ และทรัพย์สมบัติถูกวางไว้อย่างมั่นคง. มืออันไร้ฝีมือ (arātnayaḥ) ที่ถูกผลักไสย่อมถอยกลับ—มีแต่ผู้กระทำถูกต้องเท่านั้นที่เข้าถึงทรัพย์แห่งภาวะซึ่งถูกตั้งไว้แล้ว.
