10.13.4

de̱vebhya̱ḥ kam a̍vṛṇīta mṛ̱tyum pra̱jāyai̱ kam a̱mṛta̱ṁ nāvṛ̍ṇīta |
bṛha̱spati̍ṁ ya̱jñam a̍kṛṇvata̱ ṛṣi̍m pri̱yāṁ ya̱mas ta̱nva1̱̍m prāri̍recīt ||

He, for God's sake, chose death to be his portion. He chose not, for men's good, a life eternal They sacrificed Bṛihaspati the Ṛishi. Yama delivered up his own dear body.
