Let him grow superior to [her] by fatness (páyas), let him grow superior to [her] by royalty; by wealth of thousand-fold splendor let these two be unexhausted.

Tvashṭar generated the wife, Tvashṭar [generated] thee as husband for her; let Tvashṭar make for you two a thousand life-times (ā́yus), a long life-time.
