RV 7 43.1

प्र वो यज्ञेषु देवयन्तो अर्चन् द्यावा नमोभिः पृथिवी इषध्यै । येषाम् ब्रह्माण्य् असमानि विप्रा विष्वग् वियन्ति वनिनो न शाखाः

pra vo yajñeṣu devayanto arcan dyāvā namobhiḥ pṛthivī iṣadhyai | yeṣām brahmāṇy asamāni viprā viṣvag viyanti vanino na śākhāḥ

At your sacrifices the god-seeking men have sung forth with homages to Heaven and Earth, to seek (their favour) — those whose formulations, unlike one another, spread apart in every direction, O inspired ones, like the branches of a tree.

SING out the pious at your sacrifices to move with adorations Earth and Heaven- The Holy Singers, whose unmatched devotions, like a tree's branches, part in all directions.

RV 7 43.2

प्र यज्ञ एतु हेत्वो न सप्तिर् उद् यच्छध्वꣳ समनसो घृताचीः । स्तृणीत बर्हिर् अध्वराय साधूर्ध्वा शोचीꣳषि देवयून्य् अस्थुः

pra yajña etu hetvo na saptir ud yacchadhvaṁ samanaso ghṛtācīḥ | stṛṇīta barhir adhvarāya sādhūrdhvā śocīṁṣi devayūny asthuḥ

Let the sacrifice go forth like a courser to be urged on; raise up, of one mind, the ghee-filled (ladles); strew the barhis well for the rite; the god-seeking flames have risen upright.

Let sacrifice proceed like some fleet courser: with one accord lift ye on high the ladles. Strew sacred grass meet for the solenm service: bright flames that love the Gods have mounted upward.

RV 7 43.3

आ पुत्रासो न मातरꣳ विभृत्राः सानौ देवासो बर्हिषः सदन्तु । आ विश्वाची विदथ्याम् अनक्त्व् अग्ने मा नो देवताता मृधस् कः

Like sons carried to their mother, let the gods sit down upon the top of the barhis; let the all-directed (ladle) anoint what is fit for the vidatha; Agni, do not expose us to scorn in the service of the gods.

Let those worthy of worship drink to their content, milking the well-yielding streams of ṛta. Today (we invoke) the highest of your greatness of goods: come, of one mind, as many of you as there are.
