अतो वै ब्रह्म च क्षत्रं चोदतिष्ठतां ते अब्रूतां कं प्र विशावेति
ató váí bráhma ca kṣatráṁ codátiṣṭhatāṁ té ábrūtāṁ káṁ prá viśā́vetí
Thereupon, verily, Brahman and Kṣatra arose together; and they said: ‘Into whom shall we two enter?’
അപ്പോൾ വാസ്തവത്തിൽ ബ്രഹ്മവും ക്ഷത്രവും ഒരുമിച്ച് എഴുന്നേറ്റു; അവർ പറഞ്ഞു: “നാം ഇരുവരും ആരിൽ പ്രവേശിക്കണം?”
