Sukta 2
यो अ॒ग्निः क्र॒व्यात् प्र॑वि॒वेश॑ नो गृ॒हमि॒मं पश्य॒न्नित॑रं जा॒तवे॑दसम्। तं ह॑रामि पितृय॒ज्ञाय॑ दू॒रं स घ॒र्ममि॑न्धां पर॒मे स॒धस्थे॑
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.
योऽग्निः क्रव्यात् प्रविवेश नो गृहमिमं पश्यन्नितरं जातवेदसम्। तं हरामि पितृयज्ञाय दूरं; स घर्ममिन्धां परमे सधस्थे।
