AV 7 53.1

अमुत्रभूयाद् अधि यद् यमस्य बृहस्पते अभिशस्तेर् अमुञ्चः । प्रत्य् औहताम् अश्विना मृत्युम् अस्मद् देवानाम् अग्ने भिषजा शचीभिः

amutrabhūyād adhi yad yamasya bṛhaspate abhiśaster amuñcaḥ | praty auhatām aśvinā mṛtyum asmad devānām agne bhiṣajā śacībhiḥ

In that thou, O Bṛhaspati, didst release (him) from the being-in-yonder-world of Yama, from the curse — the Aśvins thrust death back away from us, O Agni, the two physicians of the gods, with their powers.

AV 7 53.2

सं क्रामतं मा जहीतं शरीरं प्राणापानौ ते सयुजाव् इह स्ताम् । शतं जीव शरदो वर्धमानो ऽग्निष् टे गोपा अधिपा वसिष्ठः

saṃ krāmataṃ mā jahītaṃ śarīraṃ prāṇāpānau te sayujāv iha stām | śataṃ jīva śarado vardhamāno 'gniṣ ṭe gopā adhipā vasiṣṭhaḥ

Step together, do not abandon the body; let thy in-breath and out-breath be here yoked together. Live a hundred autumns, thriving; Agni is thy herdsman, thy overlord, most excellent.

AV 7 53.3

आयुर् यत् ते अतिहितं पराचैर् अपानः प्राणः पुनर् आ ताव् इताम् । अग्निष् टद् आहार् निरृतेर् उपस्थात् तद् आत्मनि पुनर् आ वेशयामि ते

āyur yat te atihitaṃ parācair apānaḥ prāṇaḥ punar ā tāv itām | agniṣ ṭad āhār nirṛter upasthāt tad ātmani punar ā veśayāmi te

The life-span of thine that was put away far off, and the out-breath, the in-breath — let those two come back again. Agni has fetched that from the lap of Nirṛti; that do I cause to enter again into thy self.
