Sukta 39
अ॒ग्नाव॒ग्निश्च॑रति॒ प्रवि॑ष्ट॒ ऋषी॑णां पु॒त्रो अ॑भिशस्ति॒पा उ॑ । न॒म॒स्का॒रेण॒ नम॑सा ते जुहोमि॒ मा दे॒वानां॑ मिथु॒या क॑र्म भा॒गम्
agnā́v agníś carati práviṣṭa ṛ́ṣīṇāṁ putró abhiśastipā́ u | namaskārḗṇa námasā te juhomi mā́ devā́nāṁ mithuyā́ kárma bhāgám
Within the Fire doth Agni move, entered therein—son of the Seers, a warder-off of imprecation. With salutation, with obeisance, to thee I offer: let not the gods’ portion of the rite be taken in falsewise manner.
ଅଗ୍ନିରେ ଅଗ୍ନି ନିଜେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରି ସେଠାରେ ଚଳନ କରେ—ଋଷିମାନଙ୍କର ପୁତ୍ର, ଅଭିଶାପ-ନିବାରକ। ନମସ୍କାରରେ, ନମ୍ର ବନ୍ଦନାରେ, ତୋତେ ମୁଁ ଆହୁତି ଅର୍ପଣ କରୁଛି; ଯଜ୍ଞକର୍ମରେ ଦେବମାନଙ୍କର ଭାଗକୁ କପଟ ଭାବେ କେହି ନେଇନଯାଉ।
