When they who bear the oblation seat you as sacrificer, the gods reposed after their rites; therefore, Agni, come near to us, make known the invoked feast, and take your share into our bodies.
Inasmuch as the attendant divine (priests) anoint you as the invoker of the gods to offer worship in the sacrifice, therefore do you assent to be our protector on this occasion, and grant abundant food to our descendants.
When Gods anoint thee Priest at their oblation, and seat thee for thy task as Sacrificer, O Agni, be thou here our kind defender, and to ourselves vouchsafe the gift of glory.
