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.
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॥
