anvā́rabhēthām anusáṃrabhēthām etáṃ lókaṃ śraddádhānāḥ sacante | yád vāṃ pakváṃ pári-viṣṭam agnáu tásya gúptaye dampatī́ sáṃ śrayēthām

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Take hold thereafter, take hold together: with faith they cleave unto this world. What cooked oblation of you twain is laid within the fire—for its safe-keeping, O wedded pair, together do ye resort.

Translation

Ergreift danach, ergreift gemeinsam: im Glauben halten sie sich an diese Welt. Was von euch beiden gekocht und in Agni niedergelegt ist – zu seinem Schutz, o Ehepaar, sucht gemeinsam Zuflucht (dort).
