वन॑स्प॒तेऽव॑ सृ॒जोप॑ दे॒वान॒ग्निर्ह॒विः श॑मि॒ता सू॑दयाति । सेदु॒ होता॑ स॒त्यत॑रो यजाति॒ यथा॑ दे॒वानां॒ जनि॑मानि॒ वेद॑
vanaspate'va sṛjopa devānagnirhaviḥ śamitā sūdayāti sedu hotā satyataro yajāti yathā devānāṃ janimāni veda
O Lord of forests, create—Agni who is the priests’ oblation, the tamer who rises. May he sit as sacrificer more true, as he offers the divine births that the seers know.
Vanaspati, bring the gods nigh; may Agni, the immolator, prepare the victim; let him who is truth officiate as the ministering priest, for, verily, he knows the birth of the gods.
Send to the Gods the oblation, Lord of Forests; and let the Immolator, Agni, dress it. He as the truer Priest shall offer worship, for the Gods' generations well he knoweth.
