Devanagari script

सृजस्व शबरान्‌ घोरानिति स्वां गामुवाच ह | तथोक्ता सासृजद्‌ धेनु: पुरुषान्‌ घोरदर्शनान्‌,फिर उन्होंने अपनी गौ नन्दिनीसे कहा--“तुम भयंकर भील जातिके सैनिकोंकी सृष्टि करो'। उनके इस प्रकार आज्ञा देनेपर उनकी होमधेनुने ऐसे पुरुषोंको उत्पन्न किया, जो देखनेमें बड़े भयानक थे

sṛjasva śabarān ghorān iti svāṃ gām uvāca ha | tathoktā sā sṛjad dhenuḥ puruṣān ghoradarśanān |

Translation

তখন তিনি নিজের গাভী নন্দিনীকে বললেন—“ভয়ংকর শবর (ভীল) যোদ্ধাদের সৃষ্টি কর।” আদেশ পেয়ে সেই কামধেনু ভয়াল দর্শন পুরুষদের জন্ম দিল।
