न सेशे यस्य रोमशं निषेदुषो विजृम्भते । सेदीशे यस्य रम्बतेऽन्तरा सक्थ्या कपृद्विश्वस्मादिन्द्र उत्तरः ॥
Transliteration
na seśe yasya romaśaṃ ni-seduṣo vi-jṛmbhate | sedīśe yasya rambate ’ntarā sakthyā kapṛd viśvasmād indra uttarāḥ ||
Translation
જેનું રોમશ બળ બેઠા છતાં માત્ર હાંફે-ફાટે છે, તે સ્વામી નથી; પરંતુ જેનું ઉદ્દીપન જાંઘોની વચ્ચે ગતિ કરે છે, તે સ્વામી છે—(આ સંવાદની વિપરિતતા દ્વારા) ઇન્દ્ર સર્વથી ઉત્તમ (ઉચ્ચ) બને છે।
