ऋ॒तं वो॑चे॒ नम॑सा पृ॒च्छ्यमा॑न॒स्तवा॒शसा॑ जातवेदो॒ यदी॒दम् । त्वम॒स्य क्ष॑यसि॒ यद्ध॒ विश्वं॑ दि॒वि यदु॒ द्रवि॑णं॒ यत्पृ॑थि॒व्याम्
ṛtaṃ voce namasā pṛcchyamānastavāśasā jātavedo yadīdam tvamasya kṣayasi yaddha viśvaṃ divi yadu draviṇaṃ yatpṛthivyām
Jataveda spoke the truth to you by salutations, asking: you diminish what is this—world in the sky, wealth upon the earth?
Interrogated with respect, I declare the truth, that this (wealth is acquired), Jātavedas, by the praise of you; you rule over it, (over) all that (it may be), the wealth that is in heaven or on earth.
With reverence I declare the Law, O Agni; what is, comes by thine order, Jatavedas. Of this, whate'er it be, thou art the Sovran, yea, all the wealth that is in earth or heaven.
