सत्रे ह जाताविषिता नमोभिः कुम्भे रेतः सिषिचतुः समानम् । ततो ह मान उदियाय मध्यात्ततो जातमृषिमाहुर्वसिष्ठम् ॥
Transliteration
satré ha jātā́viṣitā námobhiḥ kumbhé rétaḥ sisicatuḥ samānám | táto ha mā́na úd iyāya mádhyāt táto jātám ṛ́ṣim āhur vasiṣṭhám ||
Translation
In the sacrifice-session, urged at birth by acts of reverence, they poured the one common seed into a jar. From there the vital self rose upward from the middle; from there they call the born one a seer—Vasiṣṭha, the most established in the truth.
