May this (air) be the vital breath of Varuṇa, his navel’s skin; may it be the animals, the two-footed and the four-footed. O Tvaṣṭṛ, first be the progenitor of beings, O Agni; do not harm (them) in the highest heaven. I send the camel to the forest in your charge; seek him so the body may sit. May the camel that you hate be released by you; may he whom you hate be released by you.
