manaḥ sṛṣṭiṃ vikurute) codyamānaṃ sisṛkṣayā | ākāśaṃ jāyate) tasmāt tasya śabdaṃ guṇaṃ viduḥ) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Mind, impelled by (Brahman's) desire to create, performs the work of creation by modifying itself, thence ether is produced; they declare that sound is the quality of the latter.
Translated by Georg Bühler
