Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation

Vedavedye Pare Pumsi Jate Dasharathatmaje |
Vedah Prachetasad Asit Sakshad Ramayanatmana ||
When the Supreme Person, who is to be known through the Vedas, took birth as the son of Dasharatha (Rama), the very Veda itself came forth from Valmiki (son of Prachetas) directly in the form of the Ramayana. In other words, just as the Lord beyond the Vedas descended as Rama, the Veda descended through Valmiki's mouth as the Ramayana to sing His glories.
