अध स्म यस्यार्चयः सम्यक्संयन्ति धूमिनः । यदीमह त्रितो दिव्युप ध्मातेव धमति शिशीते ध्मातरी यथा ॥

adha sma yasyārcayaḥ samyak saṁ-yanti dhūminaḥ | yad īmahe trito divy upa dhmātā iva dhamati śiśīte dhmātari yathā ||

Тогда воистину, когда его дымные языки пламени сходятся в должный строй, — когда мы ищем его, — Трита в небе, словно раздуватель, дует на него; он заостряется и светлеет, как полируют при раздувании, как у раздувателя.
