Sama Veda — Uttarārcika, Mantra 3
Pavamāna Soma’s flowing power that energizes and perfects the sacrifice
ऊर्जो नपाज्जातवेदः सुशस्तिभिर्मन्दस्व धीतिभिर्हितः त्वे इषः सं दधुर्भूरिवर्पसश्चित्रोतयो वामजाताः
ūrjo napājjātavedaḥ suśastibhirmandasva dhītibhirhitaḥ tve iṣaḥ saṃ dadhurbhūrivarpasaścitrotayo vāmajātāḥ
ūrjo1 napājjātavedaḥ suśa2stibhirmandasva dhītibhirhitaḥ tve iṣaḥ saṃ dadhurbhū3rivarpasaścitrotayo vāmajātāḥ
滋养之裔，Jātavedas 啊；以相称的颂赞而欢悦，由虔敬的思念而安立。为汝，他们已如法陈设食供（iṣaḥ）；汝光辉丰盛，救佑多方，吉祥而生。
