Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 12.2.7

yó agníḥ kravyā́t prá viveśa no gṛhám imáṁ páśyann ítaraṁ jātávedasam | táṁ harāmi pitṛyajñā́ya dūráṁ sá ghármam índhāṁ paramé sádhasthé

The fire, corpse-devouring, that hath entered this our house, beholding the other Jātavedas—him do I carry far away for the Fathers’ sacrifice: let him kindle heat in the highest station.

Ogień, pożerający ciała, który wszedł do tego naszego domu, patrząc na drugiego Jātavedasa - tego zabieram daleko dla ofiary Ojców: niechaj rozpali żar na najwyższym miejscu.
