अग्नेः प्रजातं परि यद् धिरण्यम् अमृतं दध्रे अधि मर्त्येषु । य एनद् वेद स इद् एनम् अर्हति जरामृत्युर् भवति यो बिभर्ति

agneḥ prajātaṃ pari yad dhiraṇyam amṛtaṃ dadhre adhi martyeṣu | ya enad veda sa id enam arhati jarāmṛtyur bhavati yo bibharti

The gold that is born of Agni, immortal, was set upon mortals; whoever knows it, he indeed deserves it; whoever wears (it) comes to have old age as his death.
