He who is within Soma, who is within the cows, who hath entered the birds, who is in the wild creatures; he who hath entered the two-footed and who the four-footed—to those Fires let this oblation be offered.
Der, der im Soma ist, der in den Kühen ist, der in die Vögel eingegangen ist, der in den Wildtieren ist; der, der in die Zweifüßigen eingegangen ist und der in die Vierfüßigen – jenen Agnis sei diese Opfergabe (huta) dargebracht.
