amutrabhū́yād ádhi yád yamásya bŕ̥haspate abhíśaster ámuñcaḥ |
práty auhatām aśvínā mr̥tyúm asmád devā́nām agne bhiṣájā śácībhiḥ ||1||
When thou, O Brihaspati, didst release [us] from Yama's otherworld existence, from malediction, the Açvins bore back death from us, O Agni, physicians of the gods, mightily.
7.53.2
sáṃ krāmataṃ mā́ jahītaṃ śárīraṃ prāṇāpānáu te sayújāv ihá stām |
śatáṃ jīva śarádo várdhamāno 'gníṣ ṭe gopā́ adhipā́ vásiṣṭhaḥ ||2||
Walk (kram) ye (two) together; leave not the body; let thy breath and expiration be here allies; live thou increasing a hundred autumns; [be] Agni thy best over-ruling shepherd.
7.53.3
ā́yur yát te átihitaṃ parācáir apānáḥ prāṇáḥ púnar ā́ tā́v itām |
agníṣ ṭád ā́hār nírr̥ter upásthāt tád ātmáni púnar ā́ veśayāmi te ||3||
Thy life-time that is set over at a distance—[thy] expiration, breath, let them come again—Agni hath taken that from the lap of perdition; that I cause to enter again in thy self.
7.53.4
mémáṃ prāṇó hāsīn mó apānó 'vahā́ya párā gāt |
saptarṣíbhya enaṃ pári dadāmi té enaṃ svastí jaráse vahantu ||4||
Let not breath leave this man; let not expiration, leaving him low, go away; I commit him to the seven sages (ṛ́ṣi); let them carry him happily (svastí) unto old age.
7.53.5
prá viṣataṃ prāṇāpānāv anaḍvā́hāv iva vrajám |
ayáṃ jarimnáḥ śevadhír áriṣṭa ihá vardhatām ||5||
Enter ye in, O breath and expiration, as (two) draft-oxen a stall; let this treasure of old age increase here unharmed.

ā́yur no viśváto dadhad ayám agnír váreṇyaḥ ||6||
We impel hither thy breath; I impel away thy yákṣma; let Agni here, desirable one, assign us life-time from all sides.
7.53.7
úd vayáṃ támasas pári róhanto nā́kam uttamám |
deváṃ devatrā́ sū́ryam áganma jyótir uttamám ||7||
Up out of darkness have we, ascending the highest firmament, gone to the sun, god among the gods, highest light.
