pṛ́cche tád éno váruṇa didṛ́kṣū́po émi cikítuṣo ví-pṛccham | samānám ín me kaváyaś cid āhur ayáṃ ha túbhyaṃ váruṇo hṛṇīte ||
Translation
ಹೇ ವರುಣ, ನಾನು ಆ ಏನೋವನ್ನು ಕುರಿತು ಕೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ—ಅದನ್ನು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ನೋಡಲು ಬಯಸಿ; ತಿಳಿದವನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ವಿಚಾರಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಕವಿಗಳೂ ನನಗೆ ಅದೇ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ: ‘ಈ ವರುಣನು ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ಹೃಣೀತೇ—ಅಪ್ರಸನ್ನನಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.’
