Sanskrit Original
ब्राह्मणा ऊचु: त्वं क्रतुस्त्वं हविस्त्वं हुताश: स्वयंत्वं हि मन्त्र: समिद्दर्भपात्राणि च । त्वं सदस्यर्त्विजो दम्पती देवताअग्निहोत्रं स्वधा सोम आज्यं पशु: ॥ ४५ ॥
brāhmaṇā ūcuḥ tvaṁ kratus tvaṁ havis tvaṁ hutāśaḥ svayaṁ tvaṁ hi mantraḥ samid-darbha-pātrāṇi ca tvaṁ sadasyartvijo dampatī devatā agnihotraṁ svadhā soma ājyaṁ paśuḥ
The brāhmaṇas said: Dear Lord, You are sacrifice personified. You are the offering of clarified butter, You are the fire, You are the chanting of Vedic hymns by which the sacrifice is conducted, You are the fuel, You are the flame, You are the kuśa grass, and You are the sacrificial pots. You are the priests who perform the yajña, You are the demigods headed by Indra, and You are the sacrificial animal. Everything that is sacrificed is You or Your energy.
