Transliteration

śaṃsā́vādhvaryó práti me gṛṇīhí indrā́ya vā́haḥ kṛṇavāva júṣṭam | édaṃ barhír yajamānasya sī́dā́thā ca bhūd ukthám indrā́ya śastám ||

Translation

O Adhvaryu, respond to my call and utter the word of affirmation: we will make the offering-path (vāhaḥ) delightful and acceptable to Indra. Sit upon this sacred seat (barhis) of the one who seeks by sacrifice; then let the inspired utterance become a true praise shaped for Indra.
