यत् त्वा पृच्छाद् ईजानः कुहया कुहयाकृते । एषो अपश्रितो वलो गोमतीम् अव तिष्ठति ॥
yat tvā pṛcchād ījānaḥ kuhayā kuhayākṛte | eṣo apaśrito valo gomatīm ava tiṣṭhati ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
If one should ask thee, Where is he who sacrificed? Whither lookest thou? Like Vala he hath passed away and dwelleth now on Gomati.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
