imā́ṃ me agne samídhaṃ juṣasvélaspadé práti haryā ghṛtā́cīm | várṣman pṛthivyā́ḥ sudinatvé ahnām ūrdhvó bhava sukrato devayajyā́ ||
Translation
హే అగ్నీ, నా ఈ సమిధను స్వీకరించు; ఇళా ఆసనంపై నెయ్యి-ప్రకాశమయమైన అర్పణంలో ఆనందించు. భూమి శిఖరాలపై, దినాల శుభప్రకాశ విస్తారంలో, పైకి లేచెడు—హే సుక్రతూ—దేవయజ్ఞం వైపు.
