Invoke the Hotr, seat him; set the sacrificers before the revered rites, for they are famed. We sacrifice, the ritualists slay; the gods accept the Iḷā and the invoked oblations with the clarified butter (ājya).

The hotā, most skilled in worship, has been sanctified by his seat (at the altar); he contemplates thesacred offerings reverently plural ced (before him); let us speedily worship with ghī the gods to whom worship isdue; let us praise those who are entitled to praise.

Best Priest, he hath been won by being seated, for he hath looked on the well-ordered viands. Come, let usworship Gods who must be worshipped, and pouring oil, laud those who should be lauded.
