Sukta 71
अन्नम्। यदन्न॒मद्मि॑ बहु॒धा विरू॑पं॒ हिर॑ण्य॒मश्व॑मु॒त गाम॒जामवि॑म्। यदे॒व किं च॑ प्रतिज॒ग्रहाह॑म॒ग्निष्टद्धोता॒ सुहु॑तं कृनोतु
annám | yád annám ádmi bahudhā́ virū́paṃ híraṇyam áśvam utá gā́m ajā́m avím | yád evá kíṃ ca pratijagrā́hā́ham agníṣ tád dhótā suháutaṃ kr̥ṇotu
What food soever I consume, of manifold and diverse form—gold, horse, and also cow, goat, and sheep—yea, whatsoever thing at all I have accepted: let Agni, the Hotar, make that a well-offered oblation.
जो भी खाना मैं खाता हूँ, चाहे सोना हो, घोड़ा हो, गाय हो, बकरी या भेड़। जो भी मैंने लिया है, अग्नि से दुआ है कि वो सब भगवान को अच्छे से ऑफर हो जाए।
