Mantra 19
Rishi: Yājñavalkya-tradition (Śukla-Yajurvedic Adhvaryu lineage attribution; specific ṛṣi ascription not explicit in the mantra itself).

Chandas: Yajus (prose formula; not a fixed ṛgvedic metre).

Transliteration
ghṛtā́cī stho dhuryáu pātam sumné stháḥ sumné mā dhattam | yajña námaś ca te úpa ca yajñásya śivé saṃtiṣṭhasva svíṣṭe me saṃtiṣṭhasva
Translation
তোমরা দু’জন ঘৃত-গামী (ঘৃতাচী); জোয়ালের যোগ্য (ধুর্য) হয়ে আমাদের রক্ষা কর। তোমরা দু’জন সুম্ন (অনুগ্রহ) মধ্যে স্থিত থাক; সেই অনুগ্রহেই আমাকে স্থাপন কর। হে যজ্ঞ! তোমাকে নমস্কার; আমি তোমার নিকটে আসি। যজ্ঞের শিব (মঙ্গল) স্থানে তুমি স্থির হও; যা আমার জন্য স্বিষ্ট (সু-আহুতি) তাতে তুমি স্থির হও।
