Sukta 3
उत्थापय सीदतो बुध्न एनानद्भिरात्मानमभि सं स्पृशन्ताम्। अमासि पात्रैरुदकं यदेतन्मितास्तण्डुलाः प्रदिशो यदीमाः

Raise thou these from the bottom where they settle; with waters let them wholly touch their very selves. This water here—at home, with vessels—and the measured rice-grains, and these same quarters (of space).

Devata: Āpas (Waters) and the consecrated food-process (anna/odana) as operative focus.
