यमाय मधुमत्तमं राज्ञे हव्यं जुहोतन । इदं नम ऋषिभ्यः पूर्वजेभ्यः पूर्वेभ्यः पथिकृद्भ्यः ॥
yamāya madhumattamaṃ rājñe havyaṃ juhotana | idaṃ nama ṛṣibhyaḥ pūrvajebhyaḥ pūrvebhyaḥ pathikṛdbhyaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Offer to Yama, to the King, oblation very rich in meath: Bow down before the Rsis of the ancient times, who made this path in days of old.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
