शिशुं न त्वा जेन्यं वर्धयन्ती माता बिभर्ति सचनस्यमाना । धनोर् अधि प्रवता यासि हर्यञ् जिगीषसे पशुर् इवावसृष्टः ॥
śiśuṃ na tvā jenyaṃ vardhayantī mātā bibharti sacanasyamānā | dhanor adhi pravatā yāsi haryañ jigīṣase paśur ivāvasṛṣṭaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Making thee grow as 'twere some noble infant, thy Mother nurtures thee with sweet affection. Over the desert slopes thou passest longing, and seekest, like some beast set free, thy fodder.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
