Translations signed

Like as the wind, like as the wood, like as the sea is set astir, So also, ten-month babe, descend together with the after-birth.

Listen

No recitation by a named reciter exists for this verse yet. Around eleven śākhās are still recited by an unbroken chain of teachers, and recording them is the most time-critical work in this project. If you recite, please get in touch.

  1. English Like as the wind, like as the wood, like as the sea is set astir, So also, ten-month babe, descend together with the after-birth. Ralph T.H. Griffith
