Sukta 1.142
शुचिः पावको अद्भुतो मध्वा यज्ञं मिमिक्षति । नराशंसस्त्रिरा दिवो देवो देवेषु यज्ञियः ॥
śúciḥ pāvakó ádbhuto mádhvā yajñáṃ mimikṣati | narā́śaṃsas trír ā́ divó devó devéṣu yajñíyaḥ ||
Pure and purifying, wondrous in his working, he blends the sacrifice with sweetness of delight; Narāśaṃsa, the god who comes threefold from the heaven, becomes worthy of the gods and makes the offering fit for the divine powers within us.
