Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

देवो देवाय धारयेन्द्राय पवते सुतः । पयो यदस्य पीपयत् ॥

Transliteration

devó devā́ya dhā́rayéndrāya pavate sutáḥ | páyo yád asya pī́payat ||

Translation

The god Soma, pressed out, flows in a stream for the god Indra, when his milk-like richness swells and nourishes him. Thus delight increases the power that breaks the inner resistance.
