अपाम् इदं न्ययनं समुद्रस्य निवेशनम् । मध्ये ह्रदस्य नो गृहाः पराचीना मुखा कृधि ॥२॥
apām idaṃ nyayanaṃ samudrasya niveśanam | madhye hradasya no gṛhāḥ parācīnā mukhā kṛdhi ||2||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
This is the down-course of the waters, the abode (nivéçana) of the ocean; in the midst of a pool are our houses: turn thy faces away.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
