ब्रह्म होता ब्रह्म यज्ञा ब्रह्मणा स्वरवो मिताः । अध्वर्युर् ब्रह्मणो जातो ब्रह्मणो ऽन्तर्हितं हविः ॥१॥
brahma hotā brahma yajñā brahmaṇā svaravo mitāḥ | adhvaryur brahmaṇo jāto brahmaṇo 'ntarhitaṃ haviḥ ||1||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The bráhman is invoker (hótṛ) the bráhman is the sacrifice; by the bráhman the sacrificial posts are set up; the officiating priest (adhvaryú) is born from the bráhman; within the bráhman is put the oblation.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
