Transliteration

tvaṃ gatvā bāhudāṃ śīghra tarpayasva yathāvidhi | devān ṛṣīn pitṝṃś caivaṃ mā cādharme manaḥ kṛthāḥ ||

Translation

Ступай немедля к Бахуде (Bāhudā) и, по предписанному обряду, соверши тарпану — должные возлияния. Так почти богов, риши и предков — и не позволяй уму склоняться к адхарме.
