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

Twelve are the fellies, and the wheel is single; three are the naves. What man hath understood it? Therein are set together spokes three hundred and sixty, which in nowise can be loosened.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
