O Dawn, radiant first among powers, through this ear you heard the truthful speaker. The god who fashioned mortals, having wrought, seated the oblation; he placed that which is the vital limb.

Heaven and earth, declarers of truth, principal (of things), be present at the invocation, associatedwith the rite, when the divine (Agni), exciting mortals to sacrifice, sits down in their presence as the invoker (ofthe gods) putting forth his flame.

HEAVEN and Earth, first by everlasting Order, speakers of truth, are near enough to hear us, When the God, urging men to worship. sitteth as Priest, assuming all his vital vigour.
