AVŚ 10.2.4

कति देवाः कतमे त आसन् य उरो ग्रीवाश् चिक्युः पुरुषस्य । कति स्तनौ व्य् अदधुः कः कफोदौ कति स्कन्धान् कति पृष्टीर् अचिन्वन् ॥४॥

kati devāḥ katame ta āsan ya uro grīvāś cikyuḥ puruṣasya | kati stanau vy adadhuḥ kaḥ kaphodau kati skandhān kati pṛṣṭīr acinvan ||4||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

How many gods [and] which were they, who gathered (ci) the breast, the neck-bones of man? how many disposed the two teats? who the two collar-bones (? kaphoḍá)? how many gathered the shoulder-bones (pl.)? how many the ribs?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
