AVŚ 5.30.17

अयं लोकः प्रियतमो देवानाम् अपराजितः । यस्मै त्वम् इह मृत्यवे दिष्टः पुरुष जज्ञिषे । स च त्वानु ह्वयामसि मा पुरा जरसो मृथाः ॥१७॥

ayaṃ lokaḥ priyatamo devānām aparājitaḥ | yasmai tvam iha mṛtyave diṣṭaḥ puruṣa jajñiṣe | sa ca tvānu hvayāmasi mā purā jaraso mṛthāḥ ||17||

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

This [is] the dearest world of the gods, unconquered. Unto what death appointed, O man, thou wast born here, we and it call after thee: do not die before old age.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
