Live thou a hundred autumns, waxing ever; a hundred winters, yea a hundred springs. A hundred—may Indra, Agni, Savitar, Bṛhaspati grant thee; with hundred-lived oblation I cheer him up.
सौ साल तक जियो, और हर साल बड़े रहो। सौ बार सर्दियों का मज़ा लो, सौ बार बसंत का। इंद्र, अग्नि, सविता और बृहस्पति तुम्हे सौ साल की उम्र दें। यह हविया देकर मैं तुम्हे खुश कर रहा हूँ।
