AVŚ 9.9.18
अवः परेण पितरं यो अस्य वेदावः परेण पर एनावरेण । कवीयमानः क इह प्र वोचद् देवं मनः कुतो अधि प्रजातम् ॥१८॥
avaḥ pareṇa pitaraṃ yo asya vedāvaḥ pareṇa para enāvareṇa | kavīyamānaḥ ka iha pra vocad devaṃ manaḥ kuto adhi prajātam ||18||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Below the distant whoever knows his father, below the distant, thus beyond the lower—who, playing the poet, shall proclaim [him] here? from whence [is] heavenly mind produced?
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
