Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

उत न एना पवया पवस्वाधि श्रुते श्रवाय्यस्य तीर्थे । षष्टिं सहस्रा नैगुतो वसूनि वृक्षं न पक्वं धूनवद्रणाय ॥

Transliteration

utá na enā́ pavayā́ pavasvā́dhi śruté śravā́yyasya tīrthé | ṣaṣṭíṃ sahásrā naigutó vásūni vṛkṣáṃ ná pakváṃ dhūnavad ráṇāya ||

Translation

And for us, by this purification, purify thyself upon the famed ford, the crossing of what is worthy to be heard. Shake down for us the treasures—sixty thousand—like a ripe tree that drops its fruit for the battle: may the ripe abundance of the soul fall from above into our striving.
