mahā́budhna iva párvato jyók pitŕ̥ṣv āstām ||1||
Her portion (bhága), splendor have I taken to myself, as from off a tree a garland; like a mountain with great base, let her sit long with the Fathers.

sā́ mātúr badhyatāṃ gr̥hé 'tho bhrā́tur átho pitúḥ ||2||
Let this girl, O king, be shaken down to thee [as] bride, O Yama; be she bound in her mother's house, also in her brother's, also in her father's.

jyók pitŕ̥ṣv āsātā ā́ śīrṣṇáḥ śamópyāt ||3||
She is thy housekeeper, O king; we commit her to thee; she shall sit long with the Fathers, until the covering in of her head.

antaḥkośám iva jāmáyó 'pi nahyāmi te bhágam ||4 ||
With the incantation (bráman) of Asita, of Kaçyapa, and of Gaya, I shut up (api-nah) thy portion (vulva?), as sisters do what is within a box (-kóça).
