सप्तऋषयो भूतकृतस्ते त्वा मन्थन्तु प्रजया सहेह ॥ ११.१.१ ॥
O Agni, be born. This Aditi, the sought-for protector, cooks the Brahman-rice, desiring a son. Let the seven seers, creators of beings, churn you here together with offspring.

अयमग्निः पृतनाषाट्सुवीरो येन देवा असहन्त दस्यून् ॥ ११.१.२ ॥
O virile friends, make smoke toward the unfailing protecting speech. This Agni conquers armies, has good heroes; by him the gods overcame the enemies.

तेभ्यो हविः श्रपयं जातवेद उत्तमं नाकमधि रोहयेमम् ॥ ११.१.४ ॥
O Agni, kindled with fuel, kindle yourself; knowing, bring here the gods worthy of sacrifice. O Jātavedas, there is the oblation cooked for them; raise this one onto the highest heaven.

अंशां जानीध्वं वि भजामि तान् वो यो देवानां स इमां पारयाति ॥ ११.१.५ ॥
The threefold portion placed long ago for you — gods, fathers and mortals — know your share; I distribute it to you. Whichever of the gods carries this across, that one.
11.1.6

इयं मात्रा मीयमाना मिता च सजातांस्ते बलिहृतः कृणोतु ॥ ११.१.६ ॥
O Agni, you are mighty and all-overpowering; cast down the hostile rivals, low and overturned. Let this measured and fixed measure make your kinsmen bringers of tribute.

अवघ्नती नि जहि य इमां पृतन्यव ऊर्ध्वं प्रजामुद्भरन्त्युदूह ॥ ११.१.९ ॥
Yoke these two pressing-stones together upon the hide; pierce the soma shoots well for the sacrificer. Strike down and slay the hostile one who comes against this seeking battle; lift up those who raise offspring aloft.

गृहाण ग्रावाणौ सकृतौ वीर हस्त आ ते देवा यज्ञिया यज्ञमगुः ।
त्रयो वरा यतमांस्त्वं वृणीषे तास्ते समृद्धीरिह राधयामि ॥ ११.१.१० ॥
O hero, take these two well-made pressing-stones in your hand; the sacrificial gods have come to your sacrifice. Of the three boons, whichever you choose, those very prosperities I here make succeed for you.

परा पुनीहि य इमां पृतन्यवोऽस्यै रयिं सर्ववीरं नि यच्छ ॥ ११.१.११ ॥

श्रिया समानान् अति सर्वान्त्स्यामाधस्पदं द्विषतस्पादयामि ॥ ११.१.१२ ॥
For the one who breathes near and for Druvi, sit down; you who are fit for sacrifice, separate yourselves from the husks. By splendour may I surpass all equals; I cause the hateful to fall to a lower place.

तासां गृह्णीताद्यतमा यज्ञिया असन् विभाज्य धीरीतरा जहीतात् ॥ ११.१.१३ ॥
Woman, go away and come back quickly; the pen of the waters has enclosed you for sustenance. Take from among them her who is today fit for sacrifice; having divided, let the wise one leave the other behind.

आर्षेया दैवा अभिसंगत्य भागमिमं तपिष्ठा ऋतुभिस्तपन्तु ॥ ११.१.१६ ॥
The sacrificial pot, fit for offering, pure and most heating, has mounted you; let Agni heat this with his heat. Let the divine offspring of the seers, approaching this share, heat it most intensely together with the seasons.
11.1.17

सहस्रपृष्ठः शतधारो अक्षितो ब्रह्मौदनो देवयानः स्वर्गः ।
अमूंस्त आ दधामि प्रजया रेषयैनान् बलिहाराय मृडतान् मह्यमेव ॥ ११.१.२० ॥
Thousand-backed, hundred-streamed, imperishable, the sacred odana, the path of the gods, heaven: you are. Those I place in you with offspring and wealth; for the offering-bearer, may they be gracious to me alone.

उदेहि वेदिं प्रजया वर्धयैनां नुदस्व रक्षः प्रतरं धेह्येनाम् ।
श्रिया समानान् अति सर्वान्त्स्यामाधस्पदं द्विषतस्पादयामि ॥ ११.१.२१ ॥
Rise, mount the altar; make her grow with offspring; drive away the demons, set her farther off. With splendor may we surpass all equals; I cause the hateful ones to fall beneath the feet.

मा त्वा प्रापच्छपथो माभिचारः स्वे क्षेत्रे अनमीवा वि राज ॥ ११.१.२२ ॥

Fashioned by ṛta, placed beneficially by mind, this altar was first arranged for the brahman-odana. Woman, place near the pure shoulder-shaped ladle; there set down the odana of the gods.
11.1.24
अदितेर्हस्तां स्रुचमेतां द्वितीयां सप्तऋषयो भूतकृतो यामकृण्वन् ।
सा गात्राणि विदुष्योदनस्य दर्विर्वेद्यामध्येनं चिनोतु ॥ ११.१.२४ ॥
This second sruc, hand-shaped like Aditi's, was made by the seven seers, creators of beings. She is the darvi who knows the limbs of the odana; on the altar may she heap him up.

पुरीषिणः प्रथमानाः पुरस्तादार्षेयास्ते मा रिषन् प्राशितारः ॥ ११.१.३२ ॥
