jī̱vaṁ ru̍danti̱ vi ma̍yante adhva̱re dī̱rghām anu̱ prasi̍tiṁ dīdhiyu̱r nara̍ḥ |
vā̱mam pi̱tṛbhyo̱ ya i̱daṁ sa̍meri̱re maya̱ḥ pati̍bhyo̱ jana̍yaḥ pari̱ṣvaje̍ ||

They mourn the living, cry aloud, at sacrifice: the men have set their thoughts upon a distant cast. A lovely thing for fathers who have gathered here,– a joy to husbands,– are the wives their arms shall clasp

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
