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

The Steer who sees afar hath risen above the sky: the Sage hath caused the lights of heaven to give their shine. The. King is passing through the filter with a roar: they drain the milk of heaven from him who looks on men.
