प्राङ् नाभिवर्धनात् पुंसो जातकर्म विधीयते । मन्त्रवत् प्राशनं च-अस्य हिरण्यमधुसर्पिषाम् ॥

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Before the navel-string is cut, the Catakarman (birth-rite) must be performed for a male (child); and while sacred formulas are being recited, he must be fed with gold, honey, and butter.
