होता॑ पाव॒कः प्र॒दिवः॑ सुमे॒धा दे॒वो दे॒वान्य॑जत्व॒ग्निरर्ह॑न् ॥
The kindled Agni was set down on the earth and stood facing all the worlds. May Agni, the invoker, the purifier, wise from of old, the god, worthy, worship the gods.
2.3.2
नरा॒शंसः॒ प्रति॒ धामा॑न्य॒ञ्जन्ति॒स्रो दिवः॒ प्रति॑ म॒ह्ना स्व॒र्चिः ।
घृ॒त॒प्रुषा॒ मन॑सा ह॒व्यमु॒न्दन्मू॒र्धन्य॒ज्ञस्य॒ सम॑नक्तु दे॒वान् ॥
May Narāśaṃsa, by his might, spread light toward the dwelling places of the three heavens. May Agni, sprinkling with ghee, moistening the oblation with mind, anoint the gods together on the crown of the sacrifice.

ई॒ळि॒तो अ॑ग्ने॒ मन॑सा नो॒ अर्ह॑न्दे॒वान्य॑क्षि॒ मानु॑षा॒त्पूर्वो॑ अ॒द्य ।
स आ व॑ह म॒रुतां॒ शर्धो॒ अच्यु॑त॒मिन्द्रं॑ नरो बर्हि॒षदं॑ यजध्वम् ॥
O Agni, praised with mind, worthy, earlier than humans, today worship the gods. Do you bring hither the strength of the Maruts and the unfailing Indra; O men, worship Indra seated on the grass.

देव॑ बर्हि॒र्वर्ध॑मानं सु॒वीरं॑ स्ती॒र्णं रा॒ये सु॒भरं॒ वेद्य॒स्याम् ।
घृ॒तेना॒क्तं व॑सवः सीदते॒दं विश्वे॑ देवा आदित्या य॒ज्ञिया॑सः ॥
O god, growing, hero-giving sacred grass, spread out for wealth, O well-bearing one, on this altar. O Vasus, anointed with ghee, sit here; O all gods, O Ādityas, worthy of sacrifice, sit here.
2.3.5
वि श्र॑यन्तामुर्वि॒या हू॒यमा॑ना॒ द्वारो॑ दे॒वीः सु॑प्राय॒णा नमो॑भिः ।

May they open wide, being invoked; the divine doors, easy to pass through with homage. May they spread out bright, unaging, purifying the color, granting glory and hero-sons.
2.3.6
सा॒ध्वपां॑सि स॒नता॑ न उक्षि॒ते उ॒षासा॒नक्ता॑ व॒य्ये॑व रण्वि॒ते ।
तन्तुं॑ त॒तं सं॒वय॑न्ती समी॒ची य॒ज्ञस्य॒ पेशः॑ सु॒दुघे॒ पय॑स्वती ॥
Dawn and Night, always doing good works, anointed for us, are like weavers. Weaving together the stretched thread, fashioning the beautiful pattern of the sacrifice, easy to milk and rich in milk.
2.3.7
दैव्या॒ होता॑रा प्रथ॒मा वि॒दुष्ट॑रा ऋ॒जु य॑क्षतः॒ समृ॒चा व॒पुष्ट॑रा ।

Sarasvatī, who accomplishes our thought, the goddess Iḍā, and the goddess Bhāratī, all-shaping — may these three goddesses, seated on the sacred grass with oblation, protect this flawless shelter.

प्र॒जां त्वष्टा॒ वि ष्य॑तु॒ नाभि॑म॒स्मे अथा॑ दे॒वाना॒मप्ये॑तु॒ पाथः॑ ॥
Tawny in form, well-bearing, bestower of life, a hero by his deeds, desiring the gods, a son is born. May Tvaṣṭar open the navel for our offspring, and then may he also reach the path of the gods.
2.3.10
वन॒स्पति॑रवसृ॒जन्नुप॑ स्थाद॒ग्निर्ह॒विः सू॑दयाति॒ प्र धी॒भिः ।
त्रिधा॒ सम॑क्तं नयतु प्रजा॒नन्दे॒वेभ्यो॒ दैव्यः॑ शमि॒तोप॑ ह॒व्यम् ॥
