Sanskrit Original
न वा उ॑ ए॒तन्म्रि॑यसे॒ न रि॑ष्यसि दे॒वाँ इदे॑षि प॒थिभिः॑ सु॒गेभिः॑ । हरी॑ ते॒ युञ्जा॒ पृष॑ती अभूता॒मुपा॑स्थाद्वा॒जी धु॒रि रास॑भस्य
na vā u etanmriyase na riṣyasi devām̐ ideṣi pathibhiḥ sugebhiḥ harī te yuñjā pṛṣatī abhūtāmupāsthādvājī dhuri rāsabhasya
You shall not die, nor shall you be cast out among the paths of the gods with harsh ones. May they bind you to the fruitful soil; may the steed‑rapid team marry you to the realm.
Verily at this moment you do not die; nor are you harmed; for you go by auspicious paths to the gods. The horses of Indra, the steeds of the Maruts shall be yoked (to their ears), and a courser shall be plural ced in the shaft of the ass of the Aśvins (to bear you to heaven).
No, here thou diest not, thou art not injured: by easy paths unto the Gods thou goest. Both Bays, both spotted mares are now thy fellows, and to the ass's pole is yoked the Charger.
