Transliteration

ava-sṛjánn úpa tmanā́ devā́n yakṣi vanáspate | agnír havyā́ suṣū́dati devó devéṣu médhiraḥ ||

Translation

Dengan melepaskan dan mengalirkannya oleh wujudmu sendiri, wahai Vanaspati, persembahkanlah kepada para dewa. Kerana Agni—dewa yang bijaksana dalam kalangan para dewa—menyediakan dan menyempurnakan persembahan (havya), memasaknya menjadi hakikat yang layak bagi kuasa-kuasa luhur di dalam diri kami.
