Sweet be the night and the dawns, full of sweetness the dust of the earth! / Sweet be heaven, our father, to us; full of sweetness to us be the tree of the forest, full of light and sweetness the sun, sweet may the cows become for us!'

The offering of water-handfuls to the great-grandfather: / 'Oṃ, homage to you, ancestors, for sap; homage to you, ancestors, for vigor; homage to you, ancestors, for life; homage to you, ancestors, for svadhā; homage to you, ancestors, for dread; homage to you, ancestors, for wrath! / Homage to you, ancestors; ancestors, give us homes! / Homage to you, ancestors, we give you this garment, ancestors!' / Three handfuls of water are given to the maternal grandfathers; / then to the mothers and others.

And whoever was born in our family, childless, belonging to our lineage, and has died— / may they be satisfied by the water wrung from my garment, offered by me.
