AVŚ 12.2.23

इमं जीवेभ्यः परिधिं दधामि मैषां नु गाद् अपरो अर्थम् एतम् । शतं जीवन्तः शरदः पुरूचीस् तिरो मृत्युं दधताम् पर्वतेन ॥२३॥

imaṃ jīvebhyaḥ paridhiṃ dadhāmi maiṣāṃ nu gād aparo artham etam | śataṃ jīvantaḥ śaradaḥ purūcīs tiro mṛtyuṃ dadhatām parvatena ||23||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

I set this enclosure for the living; let not another of them now go to that goal; living a hundred numerous autumns, let them set an obstacle to death with a mountain.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
