चकृवांस ऋभवस् तद् अपृच्छत क्वेद् अभूद् यः स्य दूतो न आजगन् । यदावाख्यच् चमसाञ् चतुरः कृतान् आद् इत् त्वष्टा ग्नास्व् अन्तर् न्य् आनजे ॥

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

When thus, O Rbhus, ye had done ye questioned thus, Whither went he who came to us a messenger? Then Tvastar, when he viewed the four wrought chalices, concealed himself among the Consorts of the Gods.
