यो ह वै ज्येष्ठं च श्रेष्ठं च वेद ज्येष्ठश् च ह वै श्रेष्ठश् च भवति । प्राणो वाव ज्येष्ठश् च श्रेष्ठश् च

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
He who knows the oldest and the best becomes himself the oldest and the best. Breath indeed is the oldest and the best.
