Sukta 84
अ॒य॒स्मये॑ द्रुप॒दे बे॑धिष इ॒हाभिहि॑तो मृ॒त्युभि॒र्ये स॒हस्र॑म्। य॒मेन॒ त्वं पि॒तृभिः॑ संविदा॒न उ॑त्त॒मं नाक॒मधि॑ रोहये॒मम्
ayasmáye drupadé bédhiṣe ihā́bhi-hitó mṛtyúbhir yé sahásram | yaména tváṃ pitṛ́bhiḥ saṃ-vidāná uttamáṃ nā́kam ádhi rohaye mám
In iron, in the wooden stock, thou liest pierced; here pressed down by deaths a thousand-fold. With Yama, in accord with the Fathers, lead thou this man upward to the highest heaven.
ఇనుములో, చెక్క ద్రుపదంలో నీవు బేధింపబడి పడి ఉన్నావు; ఇక్కడ సహస్రగుణ మరణబలాలచే నొక్కబడినవాడవు. యమునితో, పితృగణాలతో సంవిదానమై, ఈ మనిషిని పైకి—ఉత్తమమైన నాకం (స్వర్గం) వైపు ఎక్కించు.
