2.4.8

medhāṃ me devaḥ savitā ādadhātu medhāṃ me devī sarasvatī ādadhātu medhāmaśvinau devāvādhattāṃ puṣkarasrajāviti \8\

Having warmed his two hands, he wipes his mouth with (the formulas):
'Agni, thou art the protector of bodies. Protect my body. Agni, thou art the giver of life. Give me life. Agni, thou art the giver of vigour. Give me vigour.
'Agni, what is deficient in my body, that restore to fulness.
'May the god Savitri bestow insight on me, may the goddess Sarasvatî, may the two divine Asvins, wreathed with lotus, (bestow) insight (on me).'
