namas te astu nāradānuṣṭhu viduṣe vaśā | katamāsāṃ bhīmatamā yām adattvā parābhavet ||45||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Homage be to thee, O Nārada; [be] the cow to him who at once knows it. Which one of them is the most fearful, not having given which, one would perish?
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
