गोमा॑यु॒रेको॑ अ॒जमा॑यु॒रेकः॒ पृश्नि॒रेको॒ हरि॑त॒ एक॑ एषाम् । स॒मा॒नं नाम॒ बिभ्र॑तो॒ विरू॑पाः पुरु॒त्रा वाचं॑ पिपिशु॒र्वद॑न्तः
gomāyureko ajamāyurekaḥ pṛśnireko harita eka eṣām samānaṃ nāma bibhrato virūpāḥ purutrā vācaṃ pipiśurvadantaḥ
One had the life of cows, one the life of goats, one the Pṛśni, one the green one — these are their ones. Bearing the same name, though differing in form, the men sought the speech and, desiring, spoke.
One frog has the bellowing of a cow, another the bleating of a goat; one of them is speckled, one isgreen; designated by a common appellation, they are of various colours and croaking, show themselves innumerous plural ces.
Onc is Cow-bellow and Goat-bleat the other, one Frog is Green and one of them is Spotty. They bear one common name, and yet they vary, and, talking, modulate the voice diversely.
