अग्निं होतारम् प्र वृणे मियेधे गृत्सं कविं विश्वविदम् अमूरम् । स नो यक्षद् देवताता यजीयान् राये वाजाय वनते मघानि ॥
agniṃ hotāram pra vṛṇe miyedhe gṛtsaṃ kaviṃ viśvavidam amūram | sa no yakṣad devatātā yajīyān rāye vājāya vanate maghāni ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
How, quick, sage, infallible, all-knowing, I choose to be our Priest at this oblation. In our Gods' service he, best skilled, shall worship: may he obtain us boons for strength and riches.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
