Verse 171

तद्धैतद्धोर आङ्गिरस कृष्णाय देवकीपुत्रायोक्त्वोवाचापिपास एव स बभूवसोऽन्तवेलायामेतत्त्रय प्रतिपद्येताक्षितमस्यच्युतमसि प्राणसश्शितमसीति त-त्रैते द्वे ऋचौ भवत ॥ ६ ॥

In plain words

Ghora, a descendant of Angiras, taught this very truth to Krishna, the son of Devakī, and told him that he who knows this becomes utterly free from thirst and want. At the final hour of life, a person should take refuge in this triad: 'You are the imperishable, you are the unshaken, you are the very essence resting in the breath.' To this very truth, these two Vedic verses bear witness.

Close to the Sanskrit

That Ghora of the lineage of Angiras, having spoken this to Krishna the son of Devaki, said that he became free from thirst indeed. At the time of the end, a man should attain this triad: 'You are imperishable, you are unshaken, you are settled in the breath.' Thereupon these two verses exist.
