Translation

เราทั้งหลายได้ทำให้ยัญญะก้าวไปข้างหน้าแล้ว; ขอให้ถ้อยคำกวีอันดลใจ (gīḥ) เจริญยิ่งขึ้น. ด้วยฟืนก่อไฟ (samidh) เราปรนนิบัติอัคนีด้วยความเคารพและนอบน้อม. ฤษีทั้งหลายได้สถาปนาสภาพิธี (vidatha) จากสวรรค์; และแม้เพื่อคฤตสมท (Gṛtsamada) ผู้ทรงพลัง พวกเขาก็แสวงหาหนทางให้ก้าวไป—ช่องทางให้พลังเคลื่อนหน้า.
