Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
यद्वां कक्षीवाँ उत यद्व्यश्व ऋषिर्यद्वां दीर्घतमा जुहाव । पृथी यद्वां वैन्यः सादनेष्वेवेदतो अश्विना चेतयेथाम् ॥
Transliteration
yád vāṃ kakṣī́vāṃ uta yád vyàśva ṛ́ṣir yád vāṃ dīrghátamā juhā́va | pṛthī́ yád vāṃ vainyáḥ sā́daneṣv evéd áto aśvinā cetayethām ||
Translation
Since Kakṣīvān called you, and since the seer Vyàśva called you, since Dīrghatamas invoked you, and since Pṛthī Vainya (too) in the seats of dwelling—therefore, O Aśvins, become attentive (to us) even now.
