पृथिवी वाव गौतमाग्निः । तस्याः सम्वत्सर एव समित् । आकाशो धूमः । रात्रिर् अर्चिः । दिशो ऽङ्गाराः । अवान्तरदिशो विस्फुलिङ्गाः
pṛthivī vāva gautamāgniḥ | tasyāḥ samvatsara eva samit | ākāśo dhūmaḥ | rātrir arciḥ | diśo 'ṅgārāḥ | avāntaradiśo visphuliṅgāḥ
'The altar is the earth, O Gautama; its fuel is the year itself, the smoke the ether, the light the night, the coals the quarters, the sparks the intermediate quarters.
Translated by F. Max Müller
तस्मिन्न् एतस्मिन्न् अग्नौ देवा वर्षं जुह्वति । तस्या आहुतेर् अन्नं संभवति
tasminn etasminn agnau devā varṣaṃ juhvati | tasyā āhuter annaṃ saṃbhavati
'On that altar the Devas (prânas) offer rain. From that oblation rises food (corn, &c.)
