पाकः पृछामि मनसा ऽविजानन् देवानाम् एना निहिता पदानि । वत्से बष्कये ऽधि सप्त तन्तून् वि तत्निरे कवय ओतवा उ ॥६॥
pākaḥ pṛchāmi manasā 'vijānan devānām enā nihitā padāni | vatse baṣkaye 'dhi sapta tantūn vi tatnire kavaya otavā u ||6||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Simple, not discerning (vi-jñā) with the mind, I ask about the thus set-down tracks of the gods; over the yearling (? baṣkáya) calf have the poets stretched out seven lines (tántu) for weaving.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
