AVŚ 8.9.1

कुतस् तौ जातौ कतमः सो अर्धः कस्माल् लोकात् कतमस्याः पृथिव्याः । वत्सौ विराजः सलिलाद् उद् ऐतां तौ त्वा पृछामि कतरेण दुग्धा ॥१॥

kutas tau jātau katamaḥ so ardhaḥ kasmāl lokāt katamasyāḥ pṛthivyāḥ | vatsau virājaḥ salilād ud aitāṃ tau tvā pṛchāmi katareṇa dugdhā ||1||

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

Whence [were] those two born? which side (árdha) was that? out of what world? out of which earth? the two young (vatsá) of the virā́j rose out of the sea (salilá); of those I ask thee: by whether [of them was] she milked?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
