यदि मन्यसे सुवेदेति दहरमेवापि var दभ्रमेवापि
नूनं त्वं वेत्थ ब्रह्मणो रूपम् ।
यदस्य त्वं यदस्य देवेष्वथ नु
मीमाँस्यमेव ते मन्ये विदितम् ॥ १॥
yadi manyase suvedeti daharamevāpi var dabhramevāpi
nūnaṃ tvaṃ vettha brahmaṇo rūpam .
yadasya tvaṃ yadasya deveṣvatha nu
mīmām̐syameva te manye viditam .. 1..
