सहस्तोमाः सहछन्दस आवृतः सहप्रमा ऋषयः सप्त दैव्याः । पूर्वेषाम् पन्थाम् अनुदृश्य धीरा अन्वालेभिरे रथ्यो न रश्मीन् ॥
sahastomāḥ sahachandasa āvṛtaḥ sahapramā ṛṣayaḥ sapta daivyāḥ | pūrveṣām panthām anudṛśya dhīrā anvālebhire rathyo na raśmīn ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
They who were versed in ritual and metre, in hymns and rules, were the Seven Godlike Rsis. Viewing the path of those of old, the sages have taken up the reins like chariot-drivers.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
