Unborn is the share of holy heat—do thou heat that; let thy blaze heat it, let thy flame-tongue [do so]. With those thy kindly forms, O Jātavedas, bear thou this man—yea—unto the world of the well-deserving.
Narodzony jest udział świętego żaru, rozgrzewaj go; niech twoje płomienie go grzeją, niech twój język ognia [to czyni]. Tymi twoimi łaskawymi formami, o Dżatawedas, zabierz tego człowieka, zaiste, do świata zasłużonych.
