उदीरय पितरा जार आ भगमियक्षति हर्यतो हृत्त इष्यति । विवक्ति वह्निः स्वपस्यते मखस्तविष्यते असुरो वेपते मती ॥

उदी॑रय पि॒तरा॑ जा॒र आ भग॒मिय॑क्षति हर्य॒तो हृ॒त्त इ॑ष्यति । विव॑क्ति॒ वह्नि॑: स्वप॒स्यते॑ म॒खस्त॑वि॒ष्यते॒ असु॑रो॒ वेप॑ते म॒ती ॥

udī́raya pitarā jārā́ ā́ bhágam íyakṣati haryató hṛttá iṣyati | vívakti váhniḥ svapasyáte mákhas taviṣyáte ásuro vépate matī́ ||

Awaken, O Fathers: the Lover comes forward; he seeks to win Bhaga. The eager one, stirred in the heart, presses on. The bearer of the offering discerns; he labors well; the power of the sacrifice grows strong; the Asura-force trembles in the mind.
