Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Transliteration
tád u śréṣṭhaṃ sávanaṃ sunotanā́tyo na hástayato ádriḥ sótari | vidád dhy àryó abhíbhūti paúṃsyaṃ mahó rāyé cit tarute yád árvataḥ ||
Translation
榨取那最上妙的苏摩奠酒；如骏马在手，令榨石（adri）驱使它奔涌而出，噢榨者（sotar）。高贵者（ārya）由此得见并获得那征服之雄力（pāuṃsya）；当那冲力被正当地套上轭时，他甚至超越广大之财（rāya）。愿我们的榨取，释放那超越仅有之占有的至上力量。
