10.135.1

यस्मि॑न्वृ॒क्षे सु॑पला॒शे दे॒वैः स॒म्पिब॑ते य॒मः | अत्रा॑ नो वि॒श्पति॑: पि॒ता पु॑रा॒णाँ अनु॑ वेनति ||

IN the Tree clothed with goodly leaves where Yama drinketh with the Gods, The Father, Master of the house, tendeth with love our ancient Sires.

10.135.2

पु॒रा॒णाँ अ॑नु॒वेन॑न्तं॒ चर॑न्तं पा॒पया॑मु॒या | अ॒सू॒यन्न॒भ्य॑चाकशं॒ तस्मा॑ अस्पृहयं॒ पुन॑: ||

I looked reluctantly on him who cherishes those men of old, On him who treads that evil path, and then I yearned for this again.

10.135.3

यं कु॑मार॒ नवं॒ रथ॑मच॒क्रं मन॒साकृ॑णोः | एके॑षं वि॒श्वत॒: प्राञ्च॒मप॑श्य॒न्नधि॑ तिष्ठसि ||

Thou mountest, though thou dost not see, O Child, the new and wheel-less car Which thou hast fashioned mentally, onepoled but turning every way.

10.135.4

यं कु॑मार॒ प्राव॑र्तयो॒ रथं॒ विप्रे॑भ्य॒स्परि॑ | तं सामानु॒ प्राव॑र्तत॒ समि॒तो ना॒व्याहि॑तम् ||

The car which thou hast made to roll hitherward from the Sages, Child! This hath the Sāman followed close, hence, laid together on a ship.

10.135.5

कः कु॑मा॒रम॑जनय॒द्रथं॒ को निर॑वर्तयत् | कः स्वि॒त्तद॒द्य नो॑ ब्रूयादनु॒देयी॒ यथाभ॑वत् ||

Who was the father of the child? Who made the chariot roll away? Who will this day declare to us how the funeral gift was made?

10.135.6

यथाभ॑वदनु॒देयी॒ ततो॒ अग्र॑मजायत | पु॒रस्ता॑द्बु॒ध्न आत॑तः प॒श्चान्नि॒रय॑णं कृ॒तम् ||

When the funeral gift was placed, straightway the point of flame appeared. A depth extended in the front: a passage out was made behind.

10.135.7

इ॒दं य॒मस्य॒ साद॑नं देवमा॒नं यदु॒च्यते॑ | इ॒यम॑स्य धम्यते ना॒ळीर॒यं गी॒र्भिः परि॑ष्कृतः ||

Here is the seat where Yama dwells, that which is called the Home of Gods: Here minstrels blow the flute for him here he is glorified with songs.
