Yuddha-yajña-vyākhyāna (The Battle as Sacrifice): Ambarīṣa–Indra Saṃvāda
Devanagari script
हतस्य कर्तुमिच्छन्ति तस्य लोकान् शृणुष्व मे । युद्धमें मारे गये वीरके लिये उसके आत्मीयजन न तो स्नान करना चाहते हैं
Translation
Écoute de ma bouche les mondes qui reviennent à celui qui a été tué. Pour le héros tombé à la guerre, les siens ne veulent ni se baigner, ni observer les rites d’aśauca (impureté), ni faire l’offrande de nourriture (śrāddha), ni verser l’offrande d’eau (tarpana).
