Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

न तद्रक्षा॑ᳪसि॒ न पि॑शा॒चास्त॑रन्ति दे॒वाना॒मोज॑: प्रथम॒जᳪ ह्ये॒तत् । यो बि॒भर्ति॑ दाक्षाय॒णᳪ हिर॑ण्य॒ᳪ स दे॒वेषु॑ कृणुते दी॒र्घमायु॒: स म॑नु॒ष्ये॒षु कृणुते दी॒र्घमायु॑:

Transliteration

ná tád rákṣāṃsi ná piśācā́s taranti devā́nām ójaḥ prathamajáṃ hy etát | yó bibhárti dākṣāyaṇáṃ híraṇyaṃ sá devéṣu kṛṇute dīrghám ā́yuḥ sá manuṣyéṣu kṛṇute dīrghám ā́yuḥ ||

Translation

รากษสและปีศาจ (ปิศาจ) ย่อมข้ามพลังนั้นมิได้; เพราะนี่แลเป็นเดชแรกบังเกิดของเหล่าเทพ. ผู้ใดทรงไว้ซึ่งทองคำดักษายณะ ผู้นั้นย่อมกระทำอายุยืนแก่ตนในหมู่เทพ; และย่อมกระทำอายุยืนแก่ตนในหมู่มนุษย์.
