स सुक्रतुः पुरोहितो दमे-दमे ऽग्निर् यज्ञस्याध्वरस्य चेतति क्रत्वा यज्ञस्य चेतति । क्रत्वा वेधा इषूयते विश्वा जातानि पस्पशे । यतो घृतश्रीर् अतिथिर् अजायत वह्निर् वेधा अजायत ॥

sa sukratuḥ purohito dame-dame 'gnir yajñasyādhvarasya cetati kratvā yajñasya cetati | kratvā vedhā iṣūyate viśvā jātāni paspaśe | yato ghṛtaśrīr atithir ajāyata vahnir vedhā ajāyata ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

That Agni, wise High-Priest, in every house takes thought for sacrifice and holy service, yea, takes thought, with mental power, for sacrifice. Disposer, he with mental power shows all things unto him who strives; Whence he was born a guest enriched with holy oil, born as Ordainer and as Priest.
