य उक्थेभिर्न विन्धते चिकिद्य ऋषिचोदनः । इन्द्रं तमच्छा वद नव्यस्या मत्यरिष्यन्तं न भोजसे ॥
Transliteration
yá ukthebhír ná vindháte cikíd yá ṛṣi-códanaḥ | índraṃ tám ácchā vada návyasyā matír áriṣyantaṃ ná bhojase ||
Translation
Ten, kto nie odnajduje celu przez same recytacje, lecz wie, ten, kogo porywa moc wieszcza: mów do tego Indry wprost; niech nowa myśl pójdzie do niego, nie ginąc, szukając prawdziwego udziału w jego mocy.
