Sukta 9
उ॒लूख॑ले॒ मुस॑ले॒ यश्च॒ चर्म॑णि यो वा॒ शूर्पे॑ तण्डु॒लः कणः॑ । यं वा॒ वातो॑ मात॒रिश्वा॒ पव॑मानो म॒माथा॒ग्निष्टद्धोता॒ सुहु॑तं कृणोतु
ulū́khale musále yáś ca cármaṇi yó vā śū́rpe taṇḍuláḥ káṇaḥ | yáṃ vā vā́to mātáriśvā pavámāno mamā́thā́gnís tád dhótā suhútaṃ kṛṇotu
Whether in the mortar, with the pestle, and whether upon the hide, or in the winnowing-basket, be it rice-grain or kernel—what the Wind, Mātariśvan, purifying, hath crushed and made ready, that let Agni, as Hotṛ, make well-offered.
ओखली में, मूसल से, या चमड़ी पर, या छाज में, चावल का दाना हो या छिलका, हवा ने जो साफ करके तैयार किया है, अग्नि उसे अच्छे से भगवान को समर्पित करे।
