6.28.1
ऋचा कपोतं नुदत प्रणोदमिषं मदन्तः परि गां नयामः ।
संलोभयन्तो दुरिता पदानि हित्वा न ऊर्जं प्र पदात्पथिष्ठः ॥ ६.२८.१ ॥
With the verse, drive away the dove, the driver away; rejoicing in food, let us lead the cow around. Enticing the evil paths, leaving the footprints, may he not take our vigour; let the one most on the path go forth.
6.28.2
परीमेऽग्निमर्षत परीमे गामनेषत ।
देवेष्वक्रत श्रवः क इमामा दधर्षति ॥ ६.२८.२ ॥
They went around Agni, and led the cow around too; among the gods they made glory. Who dares to assail this one?
6.28.3
यः प्रथमः प्रवतमाससाद बहुभ्यः पन्थामनुपस्पशानः ।
योऽस्येशे द्विपदो यश्चतुष्पदस्तस्मै यमाय नमो अस्तु मृत्यवे ॥ ६.२८.३ ॥
He who first reached the far path, searching out the way for many; he who rules these two-footed and four-footed beings — homage to that Yama, to Death.
