Agni, do not let this flesh be a tongue that injures the gods’ beloved ones. That dish which the gods drink of flesh—by it the gods make immortal; they delight in the ambrosia.
Agni, shake not this ladle, for it is dear to the gods and to the (Pitṛs) who are worthy of the Soma; thiswhich is the drinking ladle of the ogds, in this immortal gods delight.
Forbear, O Agni, to upset this ladle: the Gods and they who merit Soma love it. This ladle, this which serves the Gods to drink from, in this the Immortal Deities rejoice them.
