पञ्चपादं पितरं द्वादशकृतिं दिव आहुः परे अर्धे पुरीषिणम् । अथेमे अन्य उ परे विचक्षणं सप्तचक्रे षडर आहुरर्पितमिति

pañcapādaṃ pitaraṃ dvādaśakṛtiṃ diva āhuḥ pare ardhe purīṣiṇam / atheme anya u pare vicakṣaṇaṃ saptacakre ṣaḍara āhurarpitamiti

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

Some call him the father with five feet (the five seasons), and with twelve shapes (the twelve months), the giver of rain in the highest half of heaven; others again say that the sage is placed in the lower half, in the chariot with seven wheels and six spokes.
