Haste past the two Dogs, Saramā’s brood, the four-eyed, the brindled, by the goodly path. Then go thou forth unto the Fathers, easy to be found, with Yama—unto them who in the common feast rejoice.
Bersegeralah melintasi dua Anjing, anak Saramā, yang bermata empat, yang berbelang, melalui jalan yang baik. Kemudian pergilah kepada para Pitṛ, mudah ditemui, bersama Yama—kepada mereka yang bersuka dalam jamuan bersama.
