Transliteration

sá hotā́ víśvaṃ pári bhūtv adhvaráṃ tám u havyáir mánuṣa ṛ́ñjate girā́ | híri-śipró vṛdhasānā́su járbhurad dyáur ná stṛ́bhiś citayad ródasī ánu ||

Translation

He becomes the Hotar encompassing the whole sacrifice; and him the human being adorns with offerings and with the word. Golden-jawed, he works and labors in the growing sessions, awakening with his supports the two worlds, as Heaven does, following after them with luminous perception.
