प्र होता जातो महान्नभोविन्नृषद्वा सीददपामुपस्थे । दधिर्यो धायि स ते वयांसि यन्ता वसूनि विधते तनूपाः ॥

Lahir sebagai Hotṛ persembahan, agung, mengetahui ketinggian-ketinggian langit; ia duduk sebagai kuasa yang bersemayam dalam kalangan manusia, di pangkuan air. Ia yang ditegakkan teguh sebagai asas—dialah yang mengarah gerakmu; ia membawa kekayaan kepada yang beribadat, sebagai pelindung bagi yang bertubuh (tanūpā).
