19.4.1
yā́m ā́hutiṃ prathamā́m átharvā yā́ jātā́ yā́ havyám ákr̥ṇoj jātávedāḥ |
tā́ṃ ta etā́ṃ prathamó johavīmi tā́bhiṣ ṭuptó vahatu havyám agnír agnáye svā́ha ||1||
What oblation (ā́huti) Atharvan sacrificed first, with what one Jātavedas made an offering, that same do I first call loudly for thee; gratified with that, let Agni carry the offering: hail to Agni.
19.4.2
ā́kūtiṃ devī́ṃ subhágāṃ puró dadhe cittásya mātā́ suhávā no astu |
yā́m āśā́m émi kévalī sā́ me astu vidéyam enāṃ mánasi práviṣṭām ||2||
Heavenly fortunate design (ā́kūti) do I put forward (puro-dhā); let the mother of intent (cittá) be easy of invocation for us; to what expectation I go, be it entirely mine; may I find it entered into [my] mind.
19.4.3
ā́kūtyā no br̥haspata ā́kūtyā na úpā́ gahi |
átho bhágasya no dhehy átho naḥ suhávo bhava ||3||
With design to us, O Brihaspati, with design come thou unto us; then assign to us of fortune (bhága); then be easy of invocation for us.
19.4.4
bŕ̥haspátir ma ā́kūtim āṅgirasáḥ práti jānātu vā́cam etā́m |
yásya devā́ devátāḥ saṃbabhūvúḥ sá supráṇītāḥ kā́mo ánv etv asmā́n ||4||
Let Brihaspati acknowledge my design, the son of An̄giras this [my] speech; of whom the gods, the deities, came into being, let that desire (kā́ma), well-conducting, go after us.
