AVŚ 8.9.17

षड् आहुः शीतान् षड् उ मास उष्णान् ऋतुं नो ब्रूत यतमो ऽतिरिक्तः । सप्त सुपर्णाः कवयो नि षेदुः सप्त छन्दांस्य् अनु सप्त दीक्षाः ॥१७॥

ṣaḍ āhuḥ śītān ṣaḍ u māsa uṣṇān ṛtuṃ no brūta yatamo 'tiriktaḥ | sapta suparṇāḥ kavayo ni ṣeduḥ sapta chandāṃsy anu sapta dīkṣāḥ ||17||

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

Six they call the cold, and six the hot months; tell ye us the season, which one [is] in excess (átirikta); seven eagles (suparṇá), poets, sat down; seven meters after seven consecrations.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
