त ँ ह शिलकः शालावत्यश्चैकितायनदाल्भ्यमुवाचाप्रतिष्ठितं वै किल ते दाल्भ्य साम यस्त्वेतर्हि ब्रूयान्मूर्धा ते विपतिष्यतीति मूर्धा ते विपतेदिति ॥ ६ ॥

In plain words

Then Silaka, the son of Salavat, said to Caikitayana Dalbhya: 'O Dalbhya, your Saman chant lacks a firm foundation. If someone who knows the truth were to tell you right now that your head will shatter, your head would indeed fall off.'

Close to the Sanskrit

To him indeed, Silaka Salavatya said to Caikitayana Dalbhya: 'O Dalbhya, your Saman is indeed unestablished. If anyone now were to say, "Your head will fall off," your head would indeed fall off.'
