striya̍ḥ sa̱tīs tām̐ u̍ me pu̱ṁsa ā̍hu̱ḥ paśya̍d akṣa̱ṇvān na vi ce̍tad a̱ndhaḥ |
ka̱vir yaḥ pu̱traḥ sa ī̱m ā ci̍keta̱ yas tā vi̍jā̱nāt sa pi̱tuṣ pi̱tāsa̍t ||

They told me these were males, though truly females: he who hath eyes sees this, the blind discerns not. The son who is a sage hath comprehended: who knows this rightly is his father's father.
