शुचिः॑ ष्म॒ यस्मा॑ अत्रि॒वत्प्र स्वधि॑तीव॒ रीय॑ते । सु॒षूर॑सूत मा॒ता क्रा॒णा यदा॑न॒शे भग॑म्
śuciḥ ṣma yasmā atrivatpra svadhitīva rīyate suṣūrasūta mātā krāṇā yadānaśe bhagam
Pure is he whose rite is praised here; mothers bear noble sons when the sacred chants are duly performed and the oblations are offered.
Bright as an axe is he to whom the (worshipper), like Atri, proceeds (to offer worship); he whom his prolific mother has brought forth, bestowing (a benefactor on the world), when (Agni) obtains (sacrificial) food.
For him, to whom, bright as an axe he, as to Atri, hath flashed forth, Hath the well-bearing Mother borne, producing when her time is come.
