prajāvatā vacasā vahnirāsā ca huve ni ca satsīha devaiḥ veṣi hotramuta potraṃ yajatra bodhi prayantarjanitarvasūnām
I invoked with speech and offerings the flames, the rites and the gods; I placed the priest, the sacrificial lad, the worshipper, the knower, the producer of wealth among the flood of offerings.
I invoke (you), who are the conveyor (of oblations), with your flames, with a hymn productive of progeny (to the worshipper); sit down here with the gods, and do you, who are deserving of worship, discharge the office of Hotā, or of Potā and awaken us, you who are the depository and genitive rator of riches.
Thou Priest with lip and voice that bring us children hast been invoked. Here with the Gods be seated. Thine is the task of Cleanser and Presenter: waken us, Wealth-bestower and Producer.
