కేతుం కృణ్వన్న కేతవే పేశో మర్యా
ఆపేశసే సముషద్భిరజాయతా ||
Ketuṁ kṛṇvan ketave peśo maryā
āpeśase samuṣadbhir ajāyata ||
Ketu, the comet and cosmic sign, creates powerful signs and symbols. He is the essence of beauty among noble ones, stays apart from the clever, touches others only lightly, and is born among those who shine—but remains untouched and beyond worldly ties.
