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

As a man walking on two legs and a carriage going on two wheels gets on, so his sacrifice gets on, and with the successful sacrifice the sacrificer gets on; yes, having sacrificed, he becomes better.

Translated by F. Max Müller
