घृ॒तम॒ग्नेर्व॑ध्र्य॒श्वस्य॒ वर्ध॑नं घृ॒तमन्नं॑ घृ॒तम्व॑स्य॒ मेद॑नम् । घृ॒तेनाहु॑त उर्वि॒या वि प॑प्रथे॒ सूर्य॑ इव रोचते स॒र्पिरा॑सुतिः
ghṛtamagnervadhryaśvasya vardhanaṃ ghṛtamannaṃ ghṛtamvasya medanam ghṛtenāhuta urviyā vi paprathe sūrya iva rocate sarpirāsutiḥ
Agni, the strengthening ghee, the food of ghee, the ghee of sacrifice — offered with ghee, with vigorous might like the wide one, shines like the sun; the serpent-born gains fame.
May ghī be the augmenter of the Agni of Vadhryaśva; may ghī be his food; may ghī be hisnutriment; sacrified to with ghī he expands exceedingly; he shines like the sun, when the clarified butter ispoured out for him.
Butter is that which makes Vadhryaiva's fire growstrong: the butter is its food, the butter makes it fat. It spreads abroad when butter hath been offered it, and balmed with streams of butter shines forth like the Sun.
