Transliteration

vánaspate ’vá sṛjópa devā́n agnír havíḥ śamitā́ sūdayāti | séd u hotā́ satyá-taro yajāti yáthā devā́nāṃ jánimāni véda ||

Translation

వనస్పతే! దేవులు సమీపించేందుకు వారిని విడుదల చేయుము. హవిసును సక్రమంగా అమర్చే అగ్ని, శమితా అయి, ఆహుతిని తగిన మార్గంలో నడిపిస్తాడు. అప్పుడు హోతా—మరింత సత్యవంతుడు—యజ్ఞం చేస్తాడు; ఎందుకంటే దేవుల జననాలు, అవతరణలు అతనికి తెలుసు.
