का त उपेतिर् मनसो वराय भुवद् अग्ने शन्तमा का मनीषा । को वा यज्ञैः परि दक्षं त आप केन वा ते मनसा दाशेम ॥
kā ta upetir manaso varāya bhuvad agne śantamā kā manīṣā | ko vā yajñaiḥ pari dakṣaṃ ta āpa kena vā te manasā dāśema ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
How may the mind draw nigh to please thee, Agni? What hymn of praise shall bring us greatest blessing? Or who hath gained thy power by sacrifices? or with what mind shall we bring thee oblations?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
