Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
युजे वां ब्रह्म पूर्व्यं नमोभिर्वि श्लोक एतु पथ्येव सूरेः । शृण्वन्तु विश्वे अमृतस्य पुत्रा आ ये धामानि दिव्यानि तस्थुः ॥
Transliteration
yujé vāṃ bráhma pū́rvyaṃ namóbhir ví ślóka etu pathyéva sūrḗḥ | śṛṇvántu víśve amṛ́tasya putrā́ ā́ yé dhā́māni divyā́ni tasthúḥ ||
Translation
I yoke for you two the ancient Word with acts of reverence; let the clear chant go forth like the guiding path of the inspired seer. Let all the children of immortality hear—those who stand in the luminous abodes—so the higher powers may consent to the soul’s upward journey.
