yádīm enā́m̐ uśató abhyàvarṣīt tṛṣyā́vataḥ prāvṛ́ṣy ā́gatāyām | akhkhalīkṛ́tyā pitáraṃ ná putró anyó anyám úpa vádantam eti ||
Translation
لمّا انهمر المطرُ على هؤلاء المتعطّشين عند مجيءِ موسمِ الأمطار، عندئذٍ—متلعثمًا حتى يصيرَ نُطقًا—يمضي الواحدُ إلى الآخر مُخاطِبًا، كابنٍ إلى أبيه؛ فالقولُ المولودُ من جديدٍ يلتمسُ منبعه ويتعلّمُ من جديدٍ أوزانَه.
