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

Six [are] born the beings first-born of righteousness; six sā́mans carry the six-day (?) [sacrifice]; after the six-yoked plough (sī́ra) severally a sā́man; six they call (ah) the heavens and earths, six the wide [spaces].

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
