Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

अग्निं होतारं प्र वृणे मियेधे गृत्सं कविं विश्वविदममूरम् । स नो यक्षद्देवताता यजीयान्राये वाजाय वनते मघानि ॥

Transliteration

agníṃ hótāraṃ prá vṛṇe miyédhe gṛ́tsaṃ kavíṃ viśvavíd amū́ram | sá no yakṣad devátātā yajī́yān rāyé vā́jāya vanate maghā́ni ||

Translation

Aku memilih Agni sebagai hotar, imam pemanggil, dalam pertemuan yajña; Agni sang kavi yang terilham, yang mengetahui segalanya, yang tak tersesat. Semoga ia mempersembahkan kurban bagi kami, menegakkan para dewa di dalam; yang paling layak dipersembahi, ia memenangkan bagi kami kelimpahan keberadaan (rāya) dan daya-daya pemenuhan (vāja), serta anugerah-anugerah.
