Transliteration
adyéd u prá̄́ṇīd ámaman imā́ áhā́pīvṛto adhayann mātúr ū́dhaḥ | émenam āpa jarímā yúvānam áheḷan vásuḥ sumánā babhūva ||

Heute wahrlich hat er den Atem ausgesandt und diese Tage gefügt; umhüllt trank er am Euter der Mutter. So kam das Alter über ihn, obgleich er jung war; doch der gute Geber, ungekränkt, wurde heiteren Sinnes.
