1

Set this sacrifice among the Devas: May you accept these offerings, O Jātavedas. O Priest, O Agni, sit down before us and first enjoy the drops of oil and fat.

2

For you, O Purifier, let the drops of rich oil flow. Grant us the finest boon that the Devas might partake.

3

Agni, Most Excellent! From the Sage’s drops, oil drips down. You are kindled like the wisest Seer. Help the sacrifice.

4

To you, O Agni, mighty and unyielding, let the drops of oil and fat flow. With great radiance you have come, praised by poets! Accept our offering, O Sage.

5

Exceedingly rich fat, extracted from the heart—this we offer as a gift. Excellent God, the drops run down on your skin. Distribute them among the Devas.
