Atharva Veda 18.4.13: Kanda 18, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 4, Mantra 13
Sukta 4
य॒ज्ञ ए॑ति॒ वित॑तः॒ कल्प॑मान ईजा॒नम॒भि लो॒कं स्व॒र्गम्। तम॒ग्नयः॒ सर्व॑हुतं जुषन्तां प्राजाप॒त्यं मेध्यं॑ जा॒तवे॑दसः
yajñá ety vítataḥ kálpamāna ijā́nam abhí lókaṃ svargám | tám agnáyaḥ sárvahutaṃ juṣantāṃ prājāpatyáṃ médhyaṃ jātávedasaḥ ||
The sacrifice goes forth, stretched out and being duly ordered, unto the sacrificer, toward the heavenly world. Him—an all-offered one—let the Fires, O Jātavedases, graciously accept: Prajāpatian, sacrificially pure.
यज्ञ आगे बढ़ रहा है, पूरा तैयार है। भक्त को स्वर्ग ले जा रहा है। अग्नि, तुम इस पूरे यज्ञ को अपना लो। यह प्रजापति का है और बिल्कुल साफ है।
