โอ้ Tanūnapāt จงดำเนินไปตามหนทางแห่ง ṛta (ระเบียบอันเที่ยงธรรมของจักรวาล) ชโลมหนทางทั้งหลายด้วยความหวานดุจน้ำผึ้ง โอ้ผู้มีลิ้นอันงาม จงทำให้สิ่งนั้นมีรสดี. ด้วยความคิดอันศรัทธาและปัญญาหยั่งรู้ของเรา ขอท่านจงยังยัญพิธีให้รุ่งเรือง และจงทำให้อธวร (การบูชายัญอันศักดิ์สิทธิ์) ของเรามุ่งไปสู่แดนเทพด้วยเถิด.
