Sukta 3.18
इध्मेनाग्न इच्छमानो घृतेन जुहोमि हव्यं तरसे बलाय । यावदीशे ब्रह्मणा वन्दमान इमां धियं शतसेयाय देवीम् ॥
idhménāgna icchámāno ghṛténa juhómi havyaṃ tárase bálāya | yā́vad ī́śe bráhmaṇā vándamāna imā́ṃ dhíyaṃ śatáseyāya devī́m ||
Mit Brennholz, o Agni, suchend, und mit geklärter Butter gieße ich die Opfergabe – zu Standkraft, zu Stärke. Soweit ich vermag, verehrend mit dem heiligen Wort (brahman), bringe ich diese göttliche Gedanken‑Kraft (dhī) hervor – zu hundertfachem Sieg und Herrschaft.
