वी॒तᳪ ह॒विः श॑मि॒तᳪ श॑मि॒ता य॒जध्यै॑ तु॒रीयो॑ य॒ज्ञो यत्र॑ ह॒व्यमेति॑ । ततो॑ वा॒का आ॒शिषो॑ नो जुषन्ताम्
Transliteration
vītáṃ havíḥ śamítáṃ śamítā yajádhyai turī́yo yajñó yátra havyám eti | táto vākā́ āśíṣo no juṣantām ||
Translation
قَدْ نِيلَ القُرْبَانُ وَقَدْ هُدِّئَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ؛ وَالمُهَدِّئُ لِلتَّقْدِيمِ فِي القُرْبَان. أَمَّا القُرْبَانُ الرَّابِعُ فَهُوَ ذَاكَ الَّذِي فِيهِ تَمْضِي القُدْمَةُ. فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ لْتَسُرَّنَا البَرَكَاتُ، أَقْوَالُ الدُّعَاءِ، وَلْتَرْضَ عَنَّا.
