AVŚ 9.9.8

माता पितरम् ऋत आ बभाज ऽधीत्य् अग्रे मनसा सं हि जग्मे । सा बीभत्सुर् गर्भरसा निविद्धा नमस्वन्त इद् उपवाकम् ईयुः ॥८॥

mātā pitaram ṛta ā babhāja 'dhīty agre manasā saṃ hi jagme | sā bībhatsur garbharasā nividdhā namasvanta id upavākam īyuḥ ||8||

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

The mother portioned the father in righteousness, for with meditation (dhītí), with mind, came together in the beginning she, repugnant, womb-sapped, pierced; paying homage, verily, they went unto encouragement.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
