Transliteration
na seśe yasya romaśaṃ ni-seduṣo vi-jṛmbhate | sedīśe yasya rambate ’ntarā sakthyā kapṛd viśvasmād indra uttarāḥ ||
Translation
Não tem domínio aquele cuja força hirsuta, assentada, apenas se escancara em bocejo; mas tem domínio aquele cujo ímpeto se move entre as coxas — assim (no paradoxo do diálogo) Indra se eleva acima de todos.
