Now, when one has been away, on returning, he should kiss his son's head and say: From every limb of mine are you born. 'From my heart are you born; O son, you are indeed myself. May you live a hundred autumns long! So and so, he takes his name. 'Become a stone! Become an axe. Become unconquerable gold. A brilliance, son, indeed you are, so live a hundred autumns long!' So and so, he takes his name.
Then he embraces him saying, 'Wherewith Prajapati embraced his creatures for their welfare, therewith I embrace you, so and so.
Then he mutters in his right ear: 'Confer on him, O Maghavan, O Onrusher' and in his left (ear), 'O Indra, grant most excellent possessions. Do not cut off (the line of our race). Be not afraid; live a hundred autumns of life. Son, I kiss your head with your name'. Thrice he should kiss his head. 'I make a lowing over you with a lowing of cows'. Thrice he should make a lowing over his head.
