Sanskrit Original
को दे॑व॒यन्त॑मश्नव॒ज्जनं॒ को वृ॒क्तब॑र्हिषम् । प्रप्र॑ दा॒श्वान्प॒स्त्या॑भिरस्थितान्त॒र्वाव॒त्क्षयं॑ दधे
ko devayantamaśnavajjanaṃ ko vṛktabarhiṣam prapra dāśvānpastyābhirasthitāntarvāvatkṣayaṃ dadhe
Who attends the gods with worship, who utters the hymn with sacred prayer? He offers the beasts and stands with the oblations; thus he averts destruction.
Who, (except Brahmaṇaspati), may approach the man who is devoted to the gods, by whom the clipped sacred grass is spread; the giver of the oblation has proceeded with the priests (to the hall of sacrifice), for he has a dwelling (abounding) internally with precious things.
Who shall approach the pious? who the man whose sacred grass is trimmed? The offerer with his folk advances more and more: he fills his house with precious things.
