Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
यमत्यमिव वाजिनं मृजन्ति योषणो दश । वने क्रीळन्तमत्यविम् ॥
Transliteration
yám átyam iva vājínaṃ mṛjánti yóṣaṇo dáśa | váne krī́ḷantám átyavim ||
Translation
Him they cleanse like a swift steed of force—ten maidens at work—him who plays in the wood, the overpassing runner. So the Soma is polished by the powers of the rite until his luminous speed is revealed.
