AVŚ 9.9.21

यस्मिन् वृक्षे मध्वदः सुपर्णा निविशन्ते सुवते चाधि विश्वे । तस्य यद् आहुः पिप्पलं स्वाद्व् अग्रे तन् नोन् नशद् यः पितरं न वेद ॥२१॥

yasmin vṛkṣe madhvadaḥ suparṇā niviśante suvate cādhi viśve | tasya yad āhuḥ pippalaṃ svādv agre tan non naśad yaḥ pitaraṃ na veda ||21||

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

On what tree the honey-eating eagles all settle and give birth—what they call the sweet berry in the top of it, that cannot he attain who knoweth not [his] father.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
