1.5.1.25

tatra japati viśvakarmastanūpā asi mā mo doṣiṣṭam mā mā hiṃsiṣṭameṣa vāṃ loka ityudaṅṅejatyantarā vā etadāhavaniyaṃ ca gārhapatyaṃ cāste tadu tābhyāṃ nihnute mā mo doṣiṣṭam mā mā hiṃsiṣṭamiti tathā hainametau na hiṃstaḥ

At the same time he mutters, 'O All-maker, thou art the protector of lives! do not ye two (fires) scorch me away (from this), injure me not! this is your sphere;' with this he moves slightly northwards: by this (mantra, he indicates that) he sits midway between the Âhavanîya and the Gârhapatya, and thus he propitiates these two; and in accordance with what he says, 'do not scorch me away from this! injure me not!' they do not injure him.
