- 1880, Михаил Салтыков-Щедрин, “Племяннушка”, in Господа Головлёвы; English translation from I. P. Foote, transl., The Golovlevs, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986:
- Он не понимал, что открывавшаяся перед его глазами могила уносила последнюю связь его с живым миром, последнее живое существо, с которым он мог делить прах, наполнявший его. И что отныне этот прах, не находя истока, будет накопляться в нём до тех пор, пока окончательно не задушит его.
- On ne ponimal, što otkryvavšajasja pered jevo glazami mogila unosila poslednjuju svjazʹ jevo s živym mirom, posledneje živoje suščestvo, s kotorym on mog delitʹ prax, napolnjavšij jevo. I što otnyne etot prax, ne naxodja istoka, budet nakopljatʹsja v njom do tex por, poka okončatelʹno ne zadušit jevo.
- He did not understand that the grave that had opened now before his eyes was bearing away his last link with the living world, the last living creature with whom he could share the dust that filled his being. And that henceforth this dust, finding no release, would accumulate within him until finally it choked him.
- (of the dead) ashes, remains
- мир пра́ху его́ ― mir práxu jevó ― may he rest in peace (literally, “peace to his ashes”)
