Transliteration
cittíṃ juhomi manásā ghṛténa yáthā devā ihā́gaman vītí-hotṛā ṛtā-vṛ́dhaḥ | pátye víśvasya bhū́mano juhómi víśvakarmaṇe víśvāhā ’dā́bhyaṃ havíḥ
Translation
ഞാൻ മനസ്സാൽ, ഘൃതത്തോടുകൂടെ ‘ചിത്തി’യെ ഹോമം ചെയ്യുന്നു—ഋതത്തെ വർധിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ദേവന്മാർ ഹോത്രയാൽ യഥാവിധി ക്ഷണിക്കപ്പെട്ട് ഇവിടെ വരുവാൻ. സർവ്വസമൃദ്ധിയുടെ അധിപനായ വിശ്വകർമ്മനു ഞാൻ ‘വിശ്വാഹാ’—ഓരോ ആഹ്വാനത്തിലും—സർവ്വപ്രയോജനകരവും അദാഭ്യവുമായ ഹവിസ് അർപ്പിക്കുന്നു.
