प्रस्तुतिर्वां धाम न प्रयुक्तिरयामि मित्रावरुणा सुवृक्तिः । अनक्ति यद्वां विदथेषु होता सुम्नं वां सूरिर्वृषणावियक्षन् ॥

prástutir vāṁ dhā́ma na prá-yuktir áyāmi mitrāvaruṇā su-vṛ́ktiḥ | anákti yád vāṁ vidáthēṣu hótā sumnáṁ vāṁ sūrír vṛṣaṇāv íyakṣan ||
Translation
Like a well-set order of the rite, my praise advances to you—O Mitra and Varuṇa—as a right-turned utterance. When in the assemblies the Hotṛ anoints you, then the illumined giver seeks to win for you (and from you) the bliss of your favor, O strong Ones.
