Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्रो अयासीदिन्दुरिन्द्रस्य निष्कृतं सखा सख्युर्न प्र मिनाति संगिरम् । मर्य इव युवतिभिः समर्षति सोमः कलशे शतयाम्ना पथा ॥

Transliteration

pró ayāsīd índur índrasya niṣkṛtáṃ sakhā sakhyúr ná prá mināti saṃgíram | márya iva yuvatíbhiḥ sám arṣati sómaḥ kalaśé śatáyāmnā pathā ||

Translation

Indu đã tiến lên phía trước, đến nơi đã được chuẩn bị cho Indra; như một người bạn, Ngài không phá vỡ giao ước của tình bằng hữu. Như chàng trai trẻ lao đến cùng các thiếu nữ—những dòng nước nuôi dưỡng—Soma tuôn chảy vào bát kalasha theo con đường của trăm kênh mạch.
