English · William Dwight Whitney

More deciduous (pl.) than the deciduous one, more non-existent than the non-existent ones, more sapless than the séhu, more dissolving than salt.

2
English · William Dwight Whitney

The apacíts that are on the neck, likewise those that are along the sides, the apacíts that are on the perineum (? vijā́man), self-deciduous.

English · William Dwight Whitney

He that crushes up the breast-bone (? kī́kasās), [that] descends to the sole (?)—the whole jāyánya have I cast out, also whatever one is set in the top.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

5
English · William Dwight Whitney

We know, indeed, O jāyā́nya, thine origin (jā́na), whence, O jāyā́nya, thou art born ⌊jā́yase⌋; how shouldst thou smite there, in whose house we perform oblation?

English · William Dwight Whitney
