Wherewith the makers of beings crossed beyond Death—what they, by heat and strenuous effort, thereafter found; what Brahman, in the beginning, cooked for brahman-power—with that same odana may I pass beyond Death.
ດ້ວຍສິ່ງທີ່ຜູ້ສ້າງສັດໄດ້ຂ້າມພົ້ນຄວາມຕາຍ, ສິ່ງທີ່ພວກເຂົາຄົ້ນພົບຫຼັງຈາກນັ້ນ ດ້ວຍຄວາມຮ້ອນແລະຄວາມພະຍາຍາມ; ສິ່ງທີ່ພຣະພຣະມະປຸງແຕ່ງໃນຕອນຕົ້ນເພື່ອພຣະພຣາຮມະນະ, ດ້ວຍເຂົ້າຕົ້ມນັ້ນ, ຂໍໃຫ້ຂ້ອຍຂ້າມພົ້ນຄວາມຕາຍ
