Sanskrit (Devanagari)

मा तवाग्निर्ध्वनयीद धूमगन्धिर्मोखा भराजन्त्यभि विक्त जघ्रिः | इष्टं वीतमभिगूर्तं वषट्क्र्तं तं देवासः परति गर्भ्णन्त्यश्वम

IAST Romanisation

mā tvāghnirdhvanayīd dhūmaghandhirmokhā bhrājantyabhi vikta jaghriḥ | iṣṭaṃ vītamabhighūrtaṃ vaṣaṭkṛtaṃ taṃ devāsaḥ prati ghṛbhṇantyaśvam

English Translation (Griffith)

Let not the fire, smoke-scented, make thee crackle, nor glowing caldron smell and break to pieces. Offered, beloved, approved, and consecrated,—such Charger do the Gods accept with favour.
