एकः सुपर्णः स समुद्रम् आ विवेश स इदं विश्वम् भुवनं वि चष्टे । तम् पाकेन मनसापश्यम् अन्तितस् तम् माता रेळ्हि स उ रेळ्हि मातरम् ॥
ekaḥ suparṇaḥ sa samudram ā viveśa sa idaṃ viśvam bhuvanaṃ vi caṣṭe | tam pākena manasāpaśyam antitas tam mātā reḷhi sa u reḷhi mātaram ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
One of these Birds hath passed into the sea of air: thence he looks round and views this universal world. With simple heart I have beheld him from anear: his Mother kisses him and he returns her kiss.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
