अस्तीदम् अधिमन्थनम् अस्ति प्रजननं कृतम् । एतां विश्पत्नीम् आ भराग्निम् मन्थाम पूर्वथा ॥
astīdam adhimanthanam asti prajananaṃ kṛtam | etāṃ viśpatnīm ā bharāgnim manthāma pūrvathā ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Here is the gear for friction, here tinder made ready for the spark. Bring thou the Matron: we will rub Agni in ancient fashion forth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
