Verily he who knows the babe with his place , his chamber , his post , and his rope , he keeps off the seven relatives who hate him. Verily by the young is meant the inner life, by his place this (body) , by his chamber this (head), by his post the vital breath, by his rope the food.

जो आधान (रहने का स्थान), प्रत्याधान (विशेष स्थान), स्थूणा (खूँटा) और दाम (रस्सी) सहित शिशु को जानता है, वह अपने से द्वेष करने वाले सात सम्बन्धियों (शत्रुओं) को रोक देता है। यह जो मध्यम प्राण है, वही शिशु है; यह (शरीर) उसका आधान है, यह (सिर) प्रत्याधान, प्राण स्थूणा और अन्न दाम है।
