The fires that are within the waters, that are in Vṛtra, that are in man, that are in stones, the one that hath entered the herbs, the forest-trees—to those fires be this oblation made.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यः सोमे अन्तर् यो गोष्व् अन्तर् य आविष्टो वयःसु यो मृगेषु । य आविवेश द्विपदो यस् चतुष्पदस् तेभ्यो अग्निभ्यो हुतम् अस्त्व् एतत् ॥२॥
