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.
Rishi: Hymn-tradition attribution variable (Atharvanic corpus).
Devata: Mātariśvan (purifying wind) and Agni (as Hotṛ)
