त्वं स्त्री त्वं पुमान् असि त्वं कुमार उत वा कुमारी॥ त्वं जीर्णो दण्डेन वञ्चसि त्वं जातो भवसि विश्वतोमुखः ॥२७॥

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

Thou art woman, thou [art] man, thou boy, or also girl; thou, when aged, totterest (vañc) with a staff; thou, when born, becomest facing all ways.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
