Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

वृषेव यूथा परि कोशमर्षस्यपामुपस्थे वृषभः कनिक्रदत् । स इन्द्राय पवसे मत्सरिन्तमो यथा जेषाम समिथे त्वोतयः ॥

Transliteration

vṛ́ṣeva yū́thā pári kóśam arṣasy apā́m upásthe vṛṣabháḥ kánikradat | sá indrā́ya pavase matsarín-tamo yáthā jéṣāma samithé tvó-tayaḥ ||

Translation

Like a bull among the herds you rush around the vessel; in the lap of the waters the bull bellows. You purify yourself for Indra, most rapturous in your intoxication, so that we may conquer in the battle with your help.
