Transliteration

gomā́yur éko ajamā́yur ékaḥ pṛ́śnir éko hárta éka eṣām | samānáṃ nā́ma bíbhrato vírūpāḥ purutrā́ vā́caṃ pipiśúr vádantaḥ ||

Translation

واحدٌ منهم له «صوتُ البقر»، وواحدٌ له «صوتُ الماعز»؛ واحدٌ مُرَقَّطٌ وواحدٌ أشقرُ بينهم. ومع ذلك، وهم يحملون اسمًا واحدًا مشتركًا، على كثرةِ صورهم، يُشكِّلون الكلامَ بطرائقَ شتّى وهم يتكلمون—قوى متنوِّعة تُظهر قدرةً واحدة.
