In English
I am the oblation, the sacrifice, and the worship; I am the fuel and the chant; I am the butter offered to the fire; I am the fire itself, and I am the act of offering.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
I am Kratu; I am Yajna; I am the offering to the manes; I am the medicinal herbs and all plants; I am the Mantra; I am also the ghee or melted butter; I am the fire; I am the oblation.
