AVŚ 6.28.3

यः प्रथमः प्रवतम् आससाद बहुभ्यः पन्थाम् अनुपस्पशानः । यो ऽस्येशे द्विपदो यश् चतुष्पदस् तस्मै यमाय नमो अस्तु मृत्यवे ॥३॥

yaḥ prathamaḥ pravatam āsasāda bahubhyaḥ panthām anupaspaśānaḥ | yo 'syeśe dvipado yaś catuṣpadas tasmai yamāya namo astu mṛtyave ||3||

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

He who first attained (ā-sad) the slope [of heaven], spying out the road for many, who is master of these bipeds, who of the quadrupeds—to that Yama, to death, be homage.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
