Sanskrit Original
ए॒वेदे॒षा पु॑रु॒तमा॑ दृ॒शे कं नाजा॑मिं॒ न परि॑ वृणक्ति जा॒मिम् । अ॒रे॒पसा॑ त॒न्वा॒३॒॑ शाश॑दाना॒ नार्भा॒दीष॑ते॒ न म॒हो वि॑भा॒ती
evedeṣā purutamā dṛśe kaṃ nājāmiṃ na pari vṛṇakti jāmim arepasā tanvā3 śāśadānā nārbhādīṣate na maho vibhātī
Thus this foremost man is seen; who does not choose birth nor brings it around? By strange acts his body reached slenderness; he does not shine with great brilliance.
Verily she, the wide-expanded Uṣā, neglects not (to give) the joy of sight to those of her own or of a different nature; visible in her faultless person n, and brightly shining, she passes not by the littleror the great.
She, verily, exceeding vast to look on debarreth from her light nor kin nor stranger. Proud of her spotless form she, brightly shiming, turneth not from the high nor froom the humble.
