सूषा व्यूर्णोतु वि योनिं हापयामसि । श्रथया सूषणे त्वमव त्वं बिष्कले सृज
Let the wrapper enclose it; we place it in the womb. O wrapper, loosen it; release it in fragments.
नेव मांसे न पीवसि नेव मज्जस्वाहतम् । अवैतु पृश्नि शेवलं शुने जराय्वत्तवेऽव जरायु पद्यताम्
Neither in flesh nor in fat, neither in marrow is it found. Let the spotted one, the placenta, depart to the dog; let the placenta fall away.

Homage to you, offspring of the mountain, by whose heat you gather together; be gracious to our bodies, grant happiness to our children.

You whom the gods have fashioned, a universal arrow, strong for slaying, may you be gracious to us in the assembly, O goddess, as we praise you; to you be homage.
भगमस्या वर्च आदिष्यधि वृक्षादिव स्रजम् । महाबुध्न इव पर्वतो ज्योक्पितृष्वास्ताम्

असितस्य ते ब्रह्मणा कश्यपस्य गयस्य च । अन्तःकोशमिव जामयोऽपि नह्यामि ते भगम्
With the power of Asita, of Kaśyapa, and of Gaya, even as wives are bound within the inner chamber, so I bind your fortune to you.
