6.116.1
yád yāmáṃ cakrúr nikhánanto ágre kā́rṣīvaṇā annavído ná vidyáyā |
vaivasvaté rā́jani táj juhomy átha yajñíyaṃ mádhumad astu nó 'nnam ||1||
What that was Yama's the Kārshīvaṇas made, digging down in the beginning, food-acquiring, not with knowledge, that I make an oblation unto the king, Vivasvant's son; so let our food be sacrificial (yajñíya), rich in sweet.
6.116.2
vaivasvatáḥ kr̥ṇavad bhāgadhéyaṃ mádhubhāgo mádhunā sáṃ sr̥jāti |
mātúr yád éna iṣitáṃ na ā́gan yád vā pitā́ 'parāddho jihīdé ||2||
Vivasvant's son shall make [us] an apportionment; having a portion of sweet, he shall unite [us] with sweet—whatever sin of [our] mother's, sent forth, hath come to us, or what [our] father, wronged,* hath done in wrath.
6.116.3
yádīdáṃ mātúr yádi pitúr naḥ pári bhrā́tuḥ putrā́c cétasa éna ā́gan |
yā́vanto asmā́n pitáraḥ sácante téṣāṃ sárveṣāṃ śivó astu manyúḥ ||3||
If from [our] mother or if from our father, forth from brother, from son, from thought (cétas), this sin hath come to [us]—as many Fathers as have fastened on (sac) us, of them all be the fury propitious [to us].
