गौर् इन् मिमाय सलिलानि तक्षती एकपदी द्विपदी सा चतुष्पदी । अष्टापदी नवपदी बभूवुषी सहस्राक्षरा भुवनस्य पङ्क्तिस् तस्याः समुद्रा अधि वि क्षरन्ति ॥२१॥

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

The cow verily lowed, fashioning the seas; one-footed, two-footed [is] she, four-footed; having become eight-footed, nine-footed, thousand-syllabled, a series (pan̄tí) of existence; out from her flow apart the oceans.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
