Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्र वो धियो मन्द्रयुवो विपन्युवः पनस्युवः संवसनेष्वक्रमुः । सोमं मनीषा अभ्यनूषत स्तुभोऽभि धेनवः पयसेमशिश्रयुः ॥

Transliteration

prá vo dhíyo mandráyúvo vipanyúvaḥ panasyúvaḥ saṃvásaneṣv akramuḥ | sómaṃ manīṣā́ abhy ànūṣata stúbho ’bhí dhénavaḥ páyasā īm aśiśrayuḥ ||

Translation

ขอความคิดของท่านทั้งหลายจงก้าวไปข้างหน้า—เยาว์วัยด้วยความรื่นรมย์ แสวงหาความอัศจรรย์และความยินดี; มันย่างเข้าสู่ฉลองพระองค์ร่วมกัน—รูปแบบอันเป็นระเบียบ. ปัญญาอันดลใจขับสรรเสริญมุ่งสู่โสมะ; บทสรรเสริญและโคนมทั้งหลายเบียดเข้าหาท่านพร้อมน้ำนม—โภชนะแห่งพลังสว่างไสว.
