Sukta 3

नम॒स्तस्मै॒ नमो॑ दा॒त्रे शाला॑पतये च कृण्मः । नमो॒ऽग्नये॑ प्र॒चर॑ते॒ पुरु॑षाय च ते॒ नमः॑

námas tásmai námo dātré śālā́pataye ca kṛṇmaḥ | námo ’gnáye pracárate púruṣāya ca te námaḥ ||

Homage to him; homage we make to the Giver, and to the Lord of the House. Homage to Agni as he ranges abroad; and homage be to thee, to the Person (within).

ఆయనకు నమస్కారం; దాతకూ, శాలాపతికీ (గృహాధిపతి) మేము నమస్కరిస్తాము. సంచరించే అగ్నికి నమస్కారం; అలాగే నీకూ—అంతర్వర్తి పురుషునికీ—నమస్కారం.
