अग्निं होतारं मन्ये दास्वन्तं वसोः सूनुं सहसो जातवेदसं विप्रं न जातवेदसम । य ऊर्ध्वरो स्वध्वरो देवो देवाच्ह्या कृपा । घृतस्य विभ्राष्टिमनु शुक्रशोच्हिष आजुह्वानस्य सर्पिषः

I deem Agni the priest, the servant-sons of wealth born with the might of Jatavedas— not the unknowing Jatavedas. The one who is upward and who is oblation-bearer, the god invoked by gods, mercy: the clarified butter’s eightyfold, the grief of Shukra, the ghee of the summoner’s serpent.
