When thou hast made him duly roasted, O Jātavedas, then hand him over, wholly, unto the Fathers. And when he goeth upon this leading-forth of breath, then cometh he under the governance of the Gods.
Apabila engkau telah memanggangnya dengan sempurna, wahai Jātavedas, maka serahkanlah dia seluruhnya kepada para Pitṛ (Bapa Leluhur). Dan apabila ia menempuh jalan pengantaran nafas ini, maka ia pun berada di bawah kuasa dan pemerintahan para Dewa.
