पृथिवीं त्वा पृथिव्यामा वेशयामि देवो नो धाता प्र तिरात्यायुः । परापरैता वसुविद् वो अस्त्वधा मृताः पितृषु सं भवन्तु

Into Earth, within the Earth, I lay thee down. May Dhātṛ, the God, for us prolong the life. Let this thy passing hence and thither be wealth-finding for you; and then let the dead be gathered wholly among the Fathers.
En la Tierra, dentro de la Tierra, te deposito. Que Dhātṛ, el dios, nos prolongue la vida. Que este tu pasar de aquí allá sea para vosotros hallazgo de riqueza; y entonces que los muertos sean reunidos por completo entre los Padres.
