etya putra upariṣṭād abhinipadyata indriyair indriyāṇi saṃspṛśya /
A father, when about to decease, summons his son. Having strewn the house with new grass, having built up the fire, having set down near it a vessel of water together with a dish, the father, wrapped around with a fresh garment, remains lying. The son, having come, lies down on top, touching
organs with organs. Or he may, even, transmit to him seated face to face. Then he delivers over to him [thus]:— Father: ‘My speech in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your speech in me I take.’ Father: ‘My breath (prāṇa) in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your breath in me I take.’ Father: ‘My eye in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your eye in me I take.’ Father: ‘My ear in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your ear in me I take.’ Father: ‘My tastes in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your tastes in me I take.’ Father: ‘My deeds (karman) in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your deeds in me I take.’ Father: ‘My pleasure and pain in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your pleasure and pain in me I take.’ Father: ‘My bliss, delight, and procreation in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your bliss, delight, and procreation in me I take.’ Father: ‘My goings in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your goings in me I take.’ Father: ‘My mind in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your mind in me I take.’ Father: ‘My intelligence (prajñā) in you I would place!’ Son: ‘Your intelligence in me I take.’
