Nguyện những lời ca tụng của chúng con (giraḥ) đi đến đây, hướng về Đấng rực sáng, hiển hiện trước mắt (darśatam), là Agni. Nguyện các lễ tế của chúng con (yajñāsaḥ), với lòng kính lễ (namasā), tiến gần Đấng giàu phúc (purūvasu), Đấng được ca ngợi nhiều (purupraśasta), để cứu trợ chúng con (ūtaye).

{ "prastava": "‘o… acchā naḥ’ (approach call)", "udgitha": "‘śīraśociṣaṃ giro yantu darśatam’", "pratihara": "Second approach pivot ‘acchā yajñāso namasā’", "upadrava": "‘purūvasuṃ purupraśastam’ (praise intensification)", "nidhana": "‘ūtaye’ (aid) as the cadential landing", "structure_notes": "The twin ‘acchā’ naturally divides into call-and-response halves suitable for udgātṛ group interplay.", "singer_assignments": "Prastotṛ initiates; Udgātṛ carries main approach; Pratihartṛ answers at second ‘acchā’; nidhana in unison to seal the request." }
{ "gloss_summary": "Both hymns (giraḥ) and sacrifices (yajñāsaḥ) are prayed to ‘go/approach’ Agni; ‘darśata’ indicates Agni’s manifest presence on the altar; Agni is rich and much-praised, approached for aid.", "ritual_interpretation": "Coordinates vāc and yajña as twin means of approach; supports the visible, enacted nature of the rite.", "theological_insight": "Divine help (ūti) is mediated through correct approach—reverent speech and properly performed sacrifice.", "etymology_highlights": "darśata from √dṛś ‘to see’—Agni as directly seen; purūvasu ‘many goods’ as abundance granted through Agni." }
