AV 6 122.1

एतं भागं परि ददामि विद्वान् विश्वकर्मन् प्रथमजा ऋतस्य । अस्माभिर् दत्तं जरसः परस्ताद् अछिन्नं तन्तुम् अनु सं तरेम

This portion I hand over, knowing (what I do), O Viśvakarman, firstborn of ṛta. What is given by us — beyond old age may we cross over along an unbroken thread.

AV 6 122.2

ततं तन्तुम् अन्व् एके तरन्ति येषां दत्तं पित्र्यम् आयनेन । अबन्ध्व् एके ददतः प्रयछन्तो दातुं चेच् छिक्षान्त् स स्वर्ग एव

tataṃ tantum anv eke taranti yeṣāṃ dattaṃ pitryam āyanena | abandhv eke dadataḥ prayachanto dātuṃ cec chikṣānt sa svarga eva

Along the stretched thread some cross over, they whose paternal gift (goes) with the journey. Others, kinless, giving and presenting — if one but strives to give, he is in heaven indeed.

अन्वारभेथाम् अनुसंरभेथाम् एतं लोकं श्रद्दधानाः सचन्ते । यद् वां पक्वं परिविष्टम् अग्नौ तस्य गुप्तये दम्पती सं श्रयेथाम्

Take hold together, hold on together; the faithful attain this world. What of yours is cooked and served around in the fire — for the guarding of that, you two, husband and wife, keep close together.

AV 6 122.4

यज्ञम् यन्तं मनसा बृहन्तम् अन्वारोहामि तपसा सयोनिः । उपहूता अग्ने जरसः परस्तात् तृतीये नाके सधमादं मदेम

yajñam yantaṃ manasā bṛhantam anvārohāmi tapasā sayoniḥ | upahūtā agne jarasaḥ parastāt tṛtīye nāke sadhamādaṃ madema

I climb after the sacrifice as it goes, lofty through the mind, of one womb (with it) through fervour. Summoned, O Agni, beyond old age, in the third vault may we rejoice in common feasting.

शुद्धाः पूता योषितो यज्ञिया इमा ब्रह्मणां हस्तेषु प्रपृथक् सादयामि । यत्काम इदं अभिषिञ्चामि वो ऽहं इन्द्रो मरुत्वान्त् स ददातु तन् मे

These maidens, clean, purified, fit for sacrifice — I seat them separately in the hands of the brahmans. With what wish I here pour (them) out for you — may Indra with the Maruts grant me that.
