अग्निꣳ होतारम् प्र वृणे मियेधे गृत्सꣳ कविꣳ विश्वविदम् अमूरम् । स नो यक्षद् देवताता यजीयान् राये वाजाय वनते मघानि

agniṁ hotāram pra vṛṇe miyedhe gṛtsaṁ kaviṁ viśvavidam amūram | sa no yakṣad devatātā yajīyān rāye vājāya vanate maghāni

I choose Agni as hotṛ at the sacrificial meal, the adroit poet, all-knowing, unerring; may he, the better sacrificer, sacrifice for us at the divine service; he wins bounties for wealth, for the prize.
