Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्र ते धारा अत्यण्वानि मेष्यः पुनानस्य संयतो यन्ति रंहयः । यद्गोभिरिन्दो चम्वोः समज्यस आ सुवानः सोम कलशेषु सीदसि ॥

Transliteration

prá te dhārā́ áty aṇvā́ni méṣyaḥ punānáasya saṃyató yanti raṃháyaḥ | yád góbhir indo camvóḥ samajyása ā́ suvānáḥ soma kalaśéṣu sīdasi ||

Translation

Forward move thy streams; the swift fine currents rush when thou art purified and gathered to the true course. When, O Indu, thou blendest with the rays of Light in the two cups, then, pressed out, O Soma, thou takest thy seat in the vessels of fulfilment.
