यत् ते मज्जा यदस्थि यन्मांसं यच्च लोहितम्। आमिक्षां दुह्रतां दात्रे क्षीरं सर्पिरथो मधु

Thy marrow, thy bone, thy flesh, and thy blood—let these milk into the vessel clotted milk: milk, and ghee, and honey besides.
जो तेरी मज्जा है, जो तेरा अस्थि है, जो तेरा मांस है और जो तेरा लोहित (रक्त) है—ये सब दात्र (पात्र) में आमिक्षा दुहें; और साथ ही क्षीर, सर्पि तथा मधु भी।
