Sanskrit Original
इति॑ त्वा दे॒वा इ॒म आ॑हुरैळ॒ यथे॑मे॒तद्भव॑सि मृ॒त्युब॑न्धुः । प्र॒जा ते॑ दे॒वान्ह॒विषा॑ यजाति स्व॒र्ग उ॒ त्वमपि॑ मादयासे
iti tvā devā ima āhuraiḷa yathemetadbhavasi mṛtyubandhuḥ prajā te devānhaviṣā yajāti svarga u tvamapi mādayāse
Thus the gods said to you: you shall be like this, a kinsman of death. The gods offspring sacrifice for you with oblations to heaven; you too stir up (them).
(Ūrvaśī). These gods said to you, Aiḷa, since you are indeed subject to death, let your progenypropitiate your gods with oblations, you shall rejoice (with me) in heaven.
Thus speak these Gods to thee, O son of Ila: As death hath verily got thee for his subject, Thy sons shall serve the Gods with their oblation, and thou, moreover, shalt rejoice in Svarga.
