Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
उत त्वः पश्यन्न ददर्श वाचमुत त्वः शृण्वन्न शृणोत्येनाम् । उतो त्वस्मै तन्वं वि सस्रे जायेव पत्य उशती सुवासाः ॥
Transliteration
utá tvaḥ páśyanná dadarśa vā́cam utá tvaḥ śṛṇvánná śṛṇoty enām | utó tvasmái tanvàm ví sasre jāyéva pátya uśatī́ suvā́sāḥ ||
Translation
And one, though seeing, does not behold the Word; and one, though hearing, does not truly hear her. But to another she unveils her body—like a wife, eager and well-adorned, to her husband.
