Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 18.4.40

ā́po agníṁ prá hiṇuta pitṝ́ṁr úpemáṁ yajñáṁ pitáro me juṣantām | ā́sīnām ū́rjam úpa yé sácante té no rayíṁ sárvavīraṁ ní yacchān ||

O Waters, set Agni forth; bring near the Fathers: let the Fathers of me take pleasure in this sacrifice. They who, seated, attach themselves unto nourishment—let them bestow upon us wealth, rich in all brave sons, and fix it firmly.

ഹേ ജലങ്ങളേ, അഗ്നിയെ മുന്നോട്ട് പ്രേരിപ്പിക്കൂ; പിതൃകളെ ഇവിടെ സമീപത്തേക്ക് കൊണ്ടുവരൂ. എന്റെ പിതൃകൾ ഈ യജ്ഞത്തിൽ പ്രസന്നരാകട്ടെ. ഇരുന്നുകൊണ്ട് പോഷണ-ഊർജ്ജത്തോടു ചേർന്നു നിൽക്കുന്നവർ, അവർ ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് സർവ്വവീരസമൃദ്ധമായ ധനം നൽകുകയും അതിനെ ദൃഢമായി സ്ഥാപിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യട്ടെ.
