इ॒मा यास्ते॑ श॒तं हि॒राः स॒हस्रं॑ ध॒मनी॑रु॒त। तासां॑ ते॒ सर्वा॑साम॒हमश्म॑ना॒ बिल॒मप्य॑धाम्
imā́ yā́s te śatáṃ hirā́ḥ sahásraṃ dhamánīr utá | tāsā́ṃ te sárvāsām ahám aśmánā bilám ápy adhām ||
These, which are thine—thy hundred veins, and thy thousand ducts besides—over the mouth of them all for thee, I, with a stone, have laid a covering.
இவை உன்னுடையவை—உன் நூறு சிரைகள், மேலும் ஆயிரம் தமனிகள்—அவை அனைத்தின் வாய்மீதும், உனக்காக, நான் கல்லால் மூடுபடலத்தை வைத்தேன்.
