एति प्र होता व्रतम् अस्य माययोर्ध्वाꣳ दधानः शुचिपेशसꣳ धियम् । अभि स्रुचः क्रमते दक्षिणावृतो या अस्य धाम प्रथमꣳ ह निꣳसते

eti pra hotā vratam asya māyayordhvāṁ dadhānaḥ śucipeśasaṁ dhiyam | abhi srucaḥ kramate dakṣiṇāvṛto yā asya dhāma prathamaṁ ha niṁsate

The hotṛ goes forth to his (Agni's) observance by (his) craft, holding upright the brightly-adorned thought; turning to the right, he steps toward the ladles, which indeed kiss his first abode.

Agni, take pleasure in this speech, welcome it, O delightful one, self-powered, born of ṛta, of good resolve — you who face toward (us) from every side, fair to see, delightful in the beholding, like a dwelling full of food.
