प्रीतिं चाग्रयां बान्धवानां सकाशाद् ददामि ते<हं वपुष: काम्यतां च | भोक्ष्यन्ते वै सप्ततिं वै शतानि गृहे तुभ्यमतिथीनां च नित्यम्

“Ipinagkakaloob ko sa iyo ang pinakadakilang pagmamahal mula sa iyong mga kamag-anak, at iginagawad ko rin ang patuloy na kagandahan at kaakit-akit na anyo ng iyong katawan. Sa iyong tahanan, ang mga panauhin ay laging mapapakain sa napakaraming bilang—mga daan-daan—araw-araw.”
