Transliteration
arā́dhi hotā́ niṣádā yajī́yān abhí prayā́ṃsi sudhítāni hí khyát | yajā́mahai yajñiyā́n hánta devā́n īḷā́mahai īḍyā́n ā́jyena ||
Translation
Хотар достиг цели; воссев, более пригодный к жертве, он являет ясно устроенные приношения. Итак — совершим жертвоприношение богам, достойным яджни; будем славить достойных славословия сил очищенным маслом (ā́jya), с умом прояснённым и щедрым.
