ओषध्यः पशवो वृक्षास् तिर्यञ्चः पक्षिणस् तथा । यज्ञार्थं निधनं प्राप्ताः प्राप्नुवन्त्य् उत्सृतीः पुनः ॥ [मुच्छ्रितीः]

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Herbs, trees, cattle, birds, and (other) animals that have been destroyed for sacrifices, receive (being reborn) higher existences.
