yām āhutiṃ prathamām atharvā yā jātā yā havyam akṛṇoj jātavedāḥ | tāṃ ta etāṃ prathamo johavīmi tābhiṣ ṭupto vahatu havyam agnir agnaye svāha
The first oblation, which Atharvan (made), which was born, which Jātavedas made into an offering — that one of yours I call upon again and again as the first; pleased with those, let Agni carry the offering. To Agni, svāhā.
