34. In sixty autumns may he (?) seek unto the treasure-keepers; may he attain unto the sky with the cooked [offering]; may both fathers [and] sons live upon him; make thou this one to go unto the heaven-going end of the fire.

35. A maintainer, maintain thyself in the maintenance of the earth; thee that art unmoved let the deities make to move (cyu); thee shall the two spouses, living, having living sons, cause to remove (ud-vas) out of the fire-holder.

36. Thou hast come together unto all the worlds, having conquered; however many [be] the desires, thou hast made them wholly satisfied; plunge ye (du.) in—both the stirring-stick [and] the spoon; take thou him up upon one vessel.

37. Strew thou on, spread forward, smear over with ghee this vessel; as a lowing cow (usrā́) [toward] a young [calf] desiring the teat, do ye, O gods, utter the sound hing toward this one.

38. Thou hast strewn on, hast made that world; let the broad unequalled heavenly world (svargá) spread itself out; to it shall resort (çri) the mighty eagle; the gods shall reach him forth to the deities.
