vánaspate ’vá sṛjópa devā́n agnír havíḥ śamitā́ sūdayāti | séd u hotā́ satyá-taro yajāti yáthā devā́nāṃ jánimāni véda ||

Translation

Oh Señor del leño, suelta: que los dioses se acerquen. Agni, el ordenador de la ofrenda, encamina la oblación por su curso recto. Entonces el Hotṛ, más veraz en la verdad, sacrifica, pues conoce los nacimientos y devenires de los dioses.
