ये अ॑ग्निद॒ग्धा ये अन॑ग्निदग्धा॒ मध्ये॑ दि॒वः स्व॒धया॑ मा॒दय॑न्ते । त्वं तान् वे॑त्थ॒ यदि॒ ते जा॑तवेदः स्व॒धया॑ य॒ज्ञं स्वधि॑तिं जुषन्ताम्

Whether burnt by fire, or whether unburnt by fire, they who, in mid-heaven, with svadhā make them glad,—thou knowest them, if thou be Jātavedas: with svadhā let them take pleasure in the sacrifice, in their svadhā-portion.
येऽग्निदग्धा ये अनग्निदग्धा मध्ये दिवः स्वधया मादयन्ते। त्वं तान् वेत्थ यदि ते जातवेदः; स्वधया यज्ञं स्वधितिं जुषन्ताम्॥
