मन्द्रा कृणुध्वं धिय आ तनुध्वं नावमरित्रपरणीं कृणुध्वम् । इष्कृणुध्वमायुधारं कृणुध्वं प्राञ्चं यज्ञं प्र णयता सखायः ॥

mandrā́ kṛṇudhvaṃ dhíya ā́ tanudhvaṃ nā́vam aritra-paráṇīṃ kṛṇudhvaṃ | iṣkṛṇudhvam āyudhā́raṃ kṛṇudhvaṃ prā́ñcaṃ yajñáṃ prá ṇayata sakhāyaḥ ||

Rendez vos pensées joyeuses et déployez-les ; façonnez la barque que porte la rame. Préparez la flèche ; mettez en ordre la puissance porteuse d’armes. Conduisez le sacrifice en avant, droit en avant, ô compagnons.
