Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
वन॑स्प॒तेऽव॑ सृजा॒ ररा॑ण॒स्त्मना॑ दे॒वेषु॑ । अ॒ग्निर्ह॒व्यᳪ श॑मि॒ता सू॑दयाति
Transliteration
vánaspate ’vá sṛja rárāṇas tmánā devéṣu | agnír havyaṃ śamítā sūdayāti
Translation
ਹੇ ਵਨਸਪਤੇ! ਤੂੰ ਆਪਣੀ ਇੱਛਾ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਸੰਨ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਦੇਵਤਿਆਂ ਲਈ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਛੱਡ। ਅਗਨੀ—ਹਵਿਸ ਦਾ ਸ਼ਮਿਤਾ (ਯਜਨੀ ਸੰਸਕਾਰਕਰਤਾ)—ਹਵਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਯੋਗ ਸਿੱਧੀ ਵੱਲ ਅੱਗੇ ਵਧਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
