When (the house) is finished, he enters it with (the formulas),
'Law, the chief post! Fortune, the pinnacle! Day and night, the two door-boards!
'Indra's house is wealthy, protecting; that I enter with my children, with my cattle, with everything that is mine.
'Hither is called the whole number (of relatives), the friends whose coming is good. Thus (I enter) thee, O house. May our dwellings be full of inviolable heroes from all sides!'
