Sukta 39
अ॒ग्नाव॒ग्निश्च॑रति॒ प्रवि॑ष्ट॒ ऋषी॑णां पु॒त्रो अ॑भिशस्ति॒पा उ॑ । न॒म॒स्का॒रेण॒ नम॑सा ते जुहोमि॒ मा दे॒वानां॑ मिथु॒या क॑र्म भा॒गम्
agnā́v agníś carati práviṣṭa ṛ́ṣīṇāṁ putró abhiśastipā́ u | namaskārḗṇa námasā te juhomi mā́ devā́nāṁ mithuyā́ kárma bhāgám
Within the Fire doth Agni move, entered therein—son of the Seers, a warder-off of imprecation. With salutation, with obeisance, to thee I offer: let not the gods’ portion of the rite be taken in falsewise manner.
Sa loob ng Apoy ay gumagalaw si Agni, pumasok doon, anak ng mga Mangunguhit, isang tagapagtaboy ng sumpa. Sa pagbati, sa paggalang, sa iyo ako nag-aalay: huwag sanang kunin sa maling paraan ang bahagi ng mga Diyos sa ritwal.
