Sukta 5

With a verse I set the pot upon the fire: pour on the water; set him down therein. Let the quieting attendants encompass it with fire; when cooked, let him go where is the world of the well-deserving.

ऋचा कुम्भीमध्यग्नौ श्रयामि; सिञ्चोदकम्, अव धेह्येनम्। पर्याधत्ताग्निना शमितारः; शृतो गच्छतु सुकृतां यत्र लोकः।
