5.41.17

iti̍ ci̱n nu pra̱jāyai̍ paśu̱matyai̱ devā̍so̱ vana̍te̱ martyo̍ va̱ ā de̍vāso vanate̱ martyo̍ vaḥ |
atrā̍ śi̱vāṁ ta̱nvo̍ dhā̱sim a̱syā ja̱rāṁ ci̍n me̱ nirṛ̍tir jagrasīta ||

Thus thinking, O ye Gods, the mortal wins you to give him increase of his herds of cattle: the mortal wins him, O ye Gods, your favour. Here he wins wholesome food to feed this body: as for mine old age, Nirṛiti consume it
