AVŚ 8.2.8

अस्मै मृत्यो अधि ब्रूहीमं दयस्वोद् इतो ऽयम् एतु । अरिष्टः सर्वाङ्गः सुश्रुज् जरसा शतहायन आत्मना भुजम् अश्नुताम् ॥८॥

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

Bless thou this man, O death; pity him; let him go up from here; unharmed, whole-limbed, well-hearing, hundred-yeared by old age, let him attain enjoyment with himself.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
