जपोऽहुतोहुतो होमः प्रहुतो भौतिको बलिः । प्राशितं पितृसंतृप्तिर्हुतं ब्राह्मं द्विजार्चनम्
japo'hutohuto homaḥ prahuto bhautiko baliḥ | prāśitaṃ pitṛsaṃtṛptirhutaṃ brāhmaṃ dvijārcanam
ଜପକୁ ‘ଅହୁତ’ କୁହାଯାଏ; ଅଗ୍ନିରେ ଆହୁତି ଦେବା ‘ହୁତ’ ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ହୋମ; ଜୀବଭୂତମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ବଳି ‘ପ୍ରହୁତ’; ପିତୃମାନଙ୍କ ସନ୍ତୃପ୍ତି ‘ପ୍ରାଶିତ’; ଏବଂ ଦ୍ୱିଜମାନଙ୍କ ଅର୍ଚ୍ଚନା ‘ବ୍ରାହ୍ମହୁତ’ ଅଟେ।
