को ददर्श प्रथमं जायमानम् अस्थन्वन्तं यद् अनस्था बिभर्ति । भूम्या असुर् असृग् आत्मा क्व स्वित् को विद्वांसम् उप गात् प्रष्टुम् एतत् ॥४॥
ko dadarśa prathamaṃ jāyamānam asthanvantaṃ yad anasthā bibharti | bhūmyā asur asṛg ātmā kva svit ko vidvāṃsam upa gāt praṣṭum etat ||4||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Who saw it first in process of birth, as the boneless one bears (bhṛ) him that has bones? where forsooth the earth's life (ásu), blood, soul? who shall go to ask that of him who knows?
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
