Round thee thou hast assumed this garment for welfare; thou hast become, indeed, a warder from imprecation for the pools. Live thou a hundred years, yea many autumns; and, living, in seemly wise divide and enjoy thy goods.
तूने यह कपड़ा अपने ऊपर लिया है भले के लिए। तालियों और कुओं की रक्षा कर। सौ साल तक जियो, बहुत साल तक। जी के अपना माल-मालिक आराम से बाँट ले और मज़े ले।
