किं स्विद् आसीद् अधिष्ठानम् आरम्भणं कतमत् स्वित् कथासीत् । यतो भूमिं जनयन् विश्वकर्मा वि द्याम् और्णोन् महिना विश्वचक्षाः ॥
kiṃ svid āsīd adhiṣṭhānam ārambhaṇaṃ katamat svit kathāsīt | yato bhūmiṃ janayan viśvakarmā vi dyām aurṇon mahinā viśvacakṣāḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
What was the place whereon he took his station? What was it that supported him? How was it? Whence Visvakarman, seeing all, producing the earth, with mighty power disclosed the heavens.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
