Transliteration

kavír na niṇyáṃ vidáthāni sā́dhan vṛ́ṣā yát sékaṃ vipipānó árcāt | divá itthā́ jī́janat saptá kārū́n áhnā cit cakruḥ vayunā́ gṛṇántaḥ ||

Translation

ดุจฤๅษีกวี (kavi) ผู้หยั่งรู้กลไกเร้นลับและบรรลุผล เขาได้ทำให้วิฑถะ (vidatha) ทั้งหลาย—การชุมนุมแห่งความรู้—สำเร็จ. โคผู้เป็นพฤษภ (vṛṣa) ดื่มการหลั่งรินแล้วเปล่งบทสรรเสริญ. ดังนี้จากสวรรค์ เขาให้กำเนิดกวีทั้งเจ็ด; และภายในวันเดียว พวกเขาได้รังสรรค์กิจแห่งความเข้าใจด้วยวายุนนา (vayunā)—ปรีชาญาณอันแยบคาย—พร้อมทั้งสรรเสริญ.
