Sanskrit Text

एकविंशतिशाखं ऋग्वेदं मां प्रचक्षते सहस्रशाखं यत्साम ये वै वेदविदो जनाः गायन्त्यारण्यके विप्रा मद्भक्तास्तेऽपि दुर्लभाः

English Translation

I am considered as the embodied form of the Rich Veda consisting of twenty-one thousand verses. Persons well-versed in the Vedas also call me the embodiment of the Samans of a thousand branches. Thus do learned Brahmanas who are my devoted worshippers and who are few in number sing me in the Aranyakas.
