AV 7 99.1

परि स्तृणीहि परि धेहि वेदिं मा जामिं मोषीर् अमुया शयानाम् । होतृषदनम् हरितं हिरण्ययं निष्का एते यजमानस्य लोके

pari stṛṇīhi pari dhehi vediṃ mā jāmiṃ moṣīr amuyā śayānām | hotṛṣadanam haritaṃ hiraṇyayaṃ niṣkā ete yajamānasya loke

Strew around, set around the altar; do not steal away the sister lying there. The hotṛ's seat is tawny, golden; these ornaments are in the world of the sacrificer.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Strew thou the Grass, and spread it on the Altar: rob not the sister who is lying yonder. The Hotar's seat is green and golden: these are gold necklets. in the plaee of him who worships.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
