घृ॒तं मि॑मिक्षे घृ॒तम॑स्य॒ योनि॑र्घृ॒ते श्रि॒तो घृ॒तम्व॑स्य॒ धाम॑ । अ॒नु॒ष्व॒धमा व॑ह मा॒दय॑स्व॒ स्वाहा॑कृतं वृषभ वक्षि ह॒व्यम्
ghṛtaṃ mimikṣe ghṛtamasya yonirghṛte śrito ghṛtamvasya dhāma anuṣvadhamā vaha mādayasva svāhākṛtaṃ vṛṣabha vakṣi havyam
Ghee, seek my ghee: its source is the ghee; its seat is the ghee. Follow the established law, carry it, delight it: the oblation made with svāhā, O bull, declare the oblation.
I sprinkle the butter, for butter is his birth-plural ce; he is nourished by butter; butter is his radiance; Agni, showerer (of benefits), bring the gods to the offered oblation; exhilarate them; convey to them the offering that has been reverently sanctified.
Oil has been mixt: oil is his habitation. In oil he rests: oil is his proper province. Come as thy wont is: O thou Steer, rejoice thee; bear off the oblation duly consecrated.
