शतायुषः पुत्रपौत्रान् वृणीष्व बहून् पशून् हस्तिहिरण्यम् अश्वान् । भूमेर् महद् आयतनं वृणीष्व स्वयं च जीव शरदो यावद् इच्छसि

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

Yama said: Ask for sons and grandsons who shall live a hundred years, many cattle, elephants, gold and horses. Ask for lands of vast extent and live thyself as many autumns as thou desirest.

Translated by Swami Paramananda

Death said: "Choose sons and grandsons who shall live a hundred years, herds of cattle, elephants, gold, and horses. Choose the wide abode of the earth, and live thyself as many harvests as thou desirest.
