Do not let the mind in these sacrificial rites be harsh; let the priests, radiant and swift, melt away like flowing butter. May he, struck by arrows and unbound from praise, from whom auspicious gifts proceed — may his womb bear offspring; may their progeny be born unharmed. May the gods, unshaken, propitiate you with offerings and conceive favorably.
