अश्वि॑ना॒ ब्रह्म॒णा या॑तम॒र्वाञ्चौ॑ वषट्का॒रेण॑ य॒ज्ञं व॒र्धय॑तौ । बृह॑स्पते॒ ब्रह्म॒णा या॑ह्य॒र्वाङ् य॒ज्ञो अ॒यं स्वऽरि॒दं यज॑मानाय॒ स्वाहा॑

O Aśvins, by the might of sacred prayer come hitherward; with the Vaṣaṭ-call increase the sacrifice. O Bṛhaspati, by prayer come hitherward: this sacrifice is boon-bestowing for the sacrificer—svāhā.
अश्विन भाइयों को पुकारा जा रहा है। प्रार्थना के बल से यहाँ आओ। यज्ञ को बढ़ाओ। बृहस्पति भी प्रार्थना के साथ आओ। यह यज्ञ जो कर रहा है उसके लिए यह अच्छा है। स्वाहा।
