yán nāsatyā bhuráṇyatho yád vā deva bhiṣajyáthaḥ | ayáṃ vāṃ vatsó matíbhir ná víndhate havíṣmantaṃ hí gácchathaḥ ||

Translation

O Nāsatyas, whether you speed on your way or whether, O divine ones, you heal and set right, this child of your offering does not find you by his thought-movements; for you go to the one who is rich in the oblation (the flame of surrender).
