अत्स्य् अन्नं पश्यसि प्रियम् । अत्त्य् अन्नं पश्यति प्रियम् भवत्य् अस्य ब्रह्मवर्चसं कुले ये एतम् एवम् आत्मानं वैश्वानरम् उपास्ते । मूधा त्व् एष आत्मन इति होवाच । मूर्धा ते व्यपतिष्यद् यन् मां नागमिष्य इति
atsy annaṃ paśyasi priyam | atty annaṃ paśyati priyam bhavaty asya brahmavarcasaṃ kule ye etam evam ātmānaṃ vaiśvānaram upāste | mūdhā tv eṣa ātmana iti hovāca | mūrdhā te vyapatiṣyad yan māṃ nāgamiṣya iti
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
'You eat food, and see your desire (a son, &c), and whoever thus meditates on that Vaisvânara Self, eats food, sees his desire, and has Vedic glory (arising from study and sacrifice) in his house. That, however, is but the head of the Self, and thus your head would have fallen (in a discussion), if you had not come to me.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
