2.28.1
तुभ्यमेव जरिमन् वर्धतामयं मेममन्ये मृत्यवो हिंसिषुः शतं ये ।
मातेव पुत्रं प्रमना उपस्थे मित्र एनं मित्रियात्पात्वंहसः ॥ २.२८.१ ॥
For you alone let this man grow old; let a hundred deaths, others, not harm him. As a mother with a kindly mind holds her son in her lap, so may Mitra with friendship keep him safe from distress.
2.28.2
मित्र एनं वरुणो वा रिशादा जरामृत्युं कृणुतां संविदानौ ।
तदग्निर्होता वयुनानि विद्वान् विश्वा देवानां जनिमा विवक्ति ॥ २.२८.२ ॥
May Mitra and Varuṇa, destroyers of foes, agreeing together, make old age and death (far) from him. Agni, the offerer, knowing those ways, declares all the births of the gods.
2.28.3
त्वमीशिषे पशूनां पार्थिवानां ये जाता उत वा ये जनित्राः ।
मेमं प्राणो हासीन् मो अपानो मेमं मित्रा वधिषुर्मो अमित्राः ॥ २.२८.३ ॥
You rule over the earthly creatures, both those born and those yet to be born. May his breath not leave him, nor his outbreath; may friends not slay him, nor enemies.
2.28.4
द्यौष्ट्वा पिता पृथिवी माता जरामृत्युं कृणुतां संविदाने ।
यथा जीवा अदितेरुपस्थे प्राणापानाभ्यां गुपितः शतं हिमाः ॥ २.२८.४ ॥
May Heaven, your father, and Earth, your mother, agreeing together, make old age and death (far) from you, so that living beings, guarded by breath and outbreath in the lap of Aditi, live a hundred winters.
2.28.5
इममग्ने आयुषे वर्चसे नय प्रियं रेतो वरुण मित्र राजन् ।
मातेवास्मा अदिते शर्म यच्छ विश्वे देवा जरदष्टिर्यथासत् ॥ २.२८.५ ॥
Agni, lead this man to life and vigour, with dear seed. King Varuṇa, Mitra, Aditi like a mother, grant him shelter; may all the gods make him one who reaches old age.
