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

The five-footed father, of twelve shapes (-ā́kṛti), they call rich in ground (purīṣín) in the far (pára) half of the sky; then these others call [him] set (árpita) in the lower outlook that is seven-wheeled, six-spoked.
