"O Agni and Vishnu, great is that greatness of yours; ye drink of the ghee that is called secret, assuming seven treasures in each house; may your tongue move on to meet the ghee.
O Agni and Vishnu, great is your great domain, ye partake of the ghee, enjoying secret things, increasing by good praise in each house; may your tongue move up to meet the ghee."
