IAST Transliteration

sárve gárbhād avepanta jā́yamānād asūsvaḥ | sasūvá hí tā́m ā́hur vaśéti bráhmabhiḥ klṛptáḥ sá hy asyā́ bandháḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

All trembled at her birth from the womb, O vital Breaths. For she was brought forth; and men call her ‘Vaśā’: by the brahmans is he made ready—he is, in sooth, her kinsman-link.

Translation

ହେ ପ୍ରାଣମାନେ, ଗର୍ଭରୁ ତାହାର ଜନ୍ମ ସମୟରେ ସମସ୍ତେ କମ୍ପିତ ହେଲେ। କାରଣ ସେ ତ ଜନ୍ମିତ ହେଲା; ଏବଂ ଲୋକେ ତାକୁ ‘ବଶା’ ବୋଲି ଡାକନ୍ତି। ବ୍ରାହ୍ମଣମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରାଯାଏ—ସେଇ ହେଉଛି ସତ୍ୟରେ ତାହାର ବନ୍ଧୁ-ବନ୍ଧ (କୁଳ-କଡ଼ି)।
