गच्छ सौम्य द्विजश्रेष्ठं समाश्वासय सुव्रत। बालस्य च शरीरं तत्तैलद्रोण्यां निधापय॥ गन्धैश्च परमोदारैस्तैलैश्च सुसुगन्धिभिः। यथा न क्षीयते बालस्तथा सौम्य विधीयताम्॥ यथा शरीरो बालस्य गुप्तः सन्क्लिष्टकर्मणः। विपत्तिः परिभेदो वा न भवच्च तथा कुरु॥

English Meaning
O gently one, do you console that foremost of twice-born ones and place the dead body of the boy in a jar full of oil. Let this body be protected by sweet-scented oil so that it might not be soiled by any means. See that it is not disfigured, its joints are not loosened and the hairs do not fall off.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
