वन॑स्प॒तेऽव॑ सृजा॒ ररा॑ण॒स्त्मना॑ दे॒वेषु॑ । अ॒ग्निर्ह॒व्यᳪ श॑मि॒ता सू॑दयाति
Transliteration
vánaspate ’vá sṛja rárāṇas tmánā devéṣu | agnír havyaṃ śamítā sūdayāti
Translation
ಹೇ ವನಸ್ಪತೇ! ನೀನು ಸ್ವಇಚ್ಛೆಯಿಂದ ಹರ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತ ದೇವತೆಗಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಅದನ್ನು ಕೆಳಕ್ಕೆ ಬಿಡು. ಅಗ್ನಿ—ಹವಿಷ್ಯದ ಶಮಿತಾ (ಯಜ್ಞೀಯ ಸಂಸ್ಕಾರಕর্তಾ)—ಹವಿಷ್ಯವನ್ನು ಅದರ ಯೋಗ್ಯ ಫಲಸಿದ್ಧಿಯ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಮುಂದೂಡುತ್ತಾನೆ.
