सहस्रधारे वितते पवित्र आ वाचम् पुनन्ति कवयो मनीषिणः । रुद्रास एषाम् इषिरासो अद्रुह स्पशः स्वञ्चः सुदृशो नृचक्षसः ॥
sahasradhāre vitate pavitra ā vācam punanti kavayo manīṣiṇaḥ | rudrāsa eṣām iṣirāso adruha spaśaḥ svañcaḥ sudṛśo nṛcakṣasaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
What time the filter with a thousand streams is stretched, the thoughtful sages purify their song therein. Bright-coloured are their spies, vigorous, void of guile, excellent, fair to see, beholders of mankind.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
