anvā́rabhēthām anusáṃrabhēthām etáṃ lókaṃ śraddádhānāḥ sacante | yád vāṃ pakváṃ pári-viṣṭam agnáu tásya gúptaye dampatī́ sáṃ śrayēthām

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Take hold thereafter, take hold together: with faith they cleave unto this world. What cooked oblation of you twain is laid within the fire—for its safe-keeping, O wedded pair, together do ye resort.

Translation

Chwyćcie potem, chwyćcie razem: z wiarą przylgną do tego świata. Co ugotowana ofiara z was dwojga jest złożona w ogniu - dla jej bezpieczeństwa, O małżeńska paro, razem się uciekajcie.
