AVŚ 5.11.1

कथं महे असुरायाब्रवीर् इह कथं पित्रे हरये त्वेषनृम्णः । पृश्निं वरुण दक्षिणां ददावान् पुनर्मघ त्वं मनसाचिकित्सीः ॥१॥

kathaṃ mahe asurāyābravīr iha kathaṃ pitre haraye tveṣanṛmṇaḥ | pṛśniṃ varuṇa dakṣiṇāṃ dadāvān punarmagha tvaṃ manasācikitsīḥ ||1||

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

How unto the great Asura didst thou speak here? how, with shining manliness, unto the yellow (hári) father? having given, O Varuṇa, a spotted [cow] as sacrificial fee, thou hast with the mind intended (? cikits) re-bestowal (?).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
