10.LII Gods 
víśve devāḥ śāstána mā yáthehá hótā vr̥tó manávai yán niṣádya |
prá me brūta bhāgadhéyaṃ yáthā vo yéna pathā́ havyám ā́ vo váhāni || 
1 INSTRUCT me, all ye Gods, how I, elected your Priest, must seat me here, and how address you. Instruct me how to deal to each his portion, and by what ' path to bring you man's oblation. 
aháṃ hótā ní asīdaṃ yájīyān víśve devā́ marúto mā junanti |
áhar-ahar aśvinā́dhvaryavaṃ vām brahmā́ samíd bhavati sā́hutir vām || 
2 I sit as Priest most skilled in sacrificing: the Maruts and all Deities impel me. Aśvins, each day yours is the Adhvaryu's duty: Brahman and wood are here: ’tis yours to offer. 
ayáṃ yó hótā kír u sá yamásya kám ápy ūhe yát samañjánti devā́ḥ |
áhar-ahar jāyate māsí-māsi áthā devā́ dadhire havyavā́ham || 
3 Who is the Priest? Is he the Priest of Yama? On whom is thrust this God-appointed honour? He springs to life each month, each day that passes; so Gods have made him their oblation-bearer. 
mã́ṃ devā́ dadhire havyavā́ham ápamluktam bahú kr̥chrā́ cárantam |
agnír vidvā́n yajñáṃ naḥ kalpayāti páñcayāmaṃ trivŕ̥taṃ saptátantum || 
4 The Gods have made me bearer of oblations, who slipped away and passed through many troubles. Wise Agni shall ordain for us the worship, whether five-wayed, threefold, or seven-threaded. 
ā́ vo yakṣi amr̥tatváṃ suvī́raṃ yáthā vo devā várivaḥ kárāṇi |
ā́ bāhuvór vájram índrasya dheyām áthemā́ víśvāḥ pŕ̥tanā jayāti || 
5 So will I win you strength and life for ever. O Gods, that I may give you room and freedom. To Indra's arms would I consign the thunder; in all these battles shall he then be victor. 
trī́ṇi śatā́ trī́ sahásrāṇi agníṃ triṃśác ca devā́ náva cāsaparyan |
aúkṣan ghr̥taír ástr̥ṇan barhír asmā ā́d íd dhótāraṃ ní asādayanta || 
6 The Deities three hundred and thirty-nine, have served and honoured Agni, Strewn sacred grass, anointed him with butter, and seated him as Priest, the Gods’ Invoker.
