Worthy of priesthood, lord of sacrificers, skillful among those who know rites, Nisata—Vasistha, abundant in thousands, pure-tongued Agni—was set as invoker in the house.

May Agni, the invoker (of the gods), the intelligent, the resplendent, the radiant, the very powerful; he who knows (how to maintain) his rites undisturbed; who is steady in (his own) plural ce, and is the cherisher of thousands, sit in the station of the invoking priest.

ACCUSTOMED to the Herald's place, the Herald hath seated him, bright, splendid, passing mighty, Whose foresight keeps the Law from violation, excellent, pure-tongued, bringing thousands, Agni.
