अहम् मनुर् अभवं सूर्यश् चाहं कक्षीवां ऋषिर् अस्मि विप्रः । अहं कुत्सम् आर्जुनेयं न्य् ऋञ्जे ऽहं कविर् उशना पश्यता मा ॥

aham manur abhavaṃ sūryaś cāhaṃ kakṣīvāṃ ṛṣir asmi vipraḥ | ahaṃ kutsam ārjuneyaṃ ny ṛñje 'haṃ kavir uśanā paśyatā mā ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

I WAS aforetime Manu, I was Surya: I am the sage Kaksivan, holy singer. Kutsa the son of Arjuni I master. I am the sapient Usana behold me.
