AVŚ 5.17.4

याम् आहुस् तारकैषा विकेशीति दुछुनां ग्रामम् अवपद्यमानाम् । सा ब्रह्मजाया वि दुनोति राष्ट्रं यत्र प्रापादि शश उल्कुषीमान् ॥४॥

yām āhus tārakaiṣā vikeśīti duchunāṃ grāmam avapadyamānām | sā brahmajāyā vi dunoti rāṣṭraṃ yatra prāpādi śaśa ulkuṣīmān ||4||

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

The misfortune, descending (ava-pad) upon the village, of which they say "this is a star with disheveled hair"—as such, the Brahman's wife burns up the kingdom, where hath gone forth a hare (? çaçá) accompanied with meteors (ulkuṣī́ -).
