xviii. 1-

1. Unto a friend would I turn with friendship; having gone through much ocean, may the pious one take a grandson of [his] father, considering further onward upon the earth (kṣám).

2. Thy friend wants (vaç) not that friendship of thine, that she of like sign should become of diverse form; the sons of the great Asura, heroes, sustainers of the sky (dív), look widely about.

3. Truly those immortals want that—posterity (? tyajás) of the one mortal; may thy mind be set in our mind; mayest thou enter [as] husband a wife's body.
