IAST Transliteration

yán mā hutám áhutaṃ ājagā́ma dattám pitŕ̥bhir ánumataṃ manuṣyáiḥ | yásmān me mána úd iva rārājīti agníṣ tád dhótā suháutaṃ kr̥ṇotu

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

What hath come unto me, offered or unoffered—given, approved by the Fathers, assented to by men—wherefrom my mind, as it were, flares up in disquiet: let Agni, the Hotar, make that a well-offered oblation.

Translation

ما الذي جاءني—مُقَدَّمًا قربانًا أو غير مُقَدَّم—مُعطًى، مُجازًا من الآباء (الـPitṛ)، ومُقَرًّا به من الناس—مِمّا يَتَّقِدُ منه ذهني كأنّه يَشْتَعِلُ قَلَقًا: فليجعل أغني (Agni)، الهوتَر (Hotṛ)، ذلك قربانًا مُحْسَنَ التقديم.
