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

Them, being women, they declared (ah) to me to be men; he who hath eyes may see, [but] the blind will not distinguish (vi-cit); the son that is a poet, he verily understood (ā-cit); whoever knows those things apart, he shall be [his] father's father.
