अमून् हेतिः पतत्रिणी न्य् एतु यद् उलूको वदति मोघम् एतत् । यद् वा कपोत पदम् अग्नौ कृणोति ॥१॥
amūn hetiḥ patatriṇī ny etu yad ulūko vadati mogham etat | yad vā kapota padam agnau kṛṇoti ||1||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Them yonder let the winged missile come upon; what the owl utters, [be] that to no purpose, or that the dove makes its track (padá) at the fire.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
