Shloka (श्लोक)
न हय ऋते मन्त्राद धवनम अस्ति
न विना पुरुषं तपः संभवति
हविर मन्त्राणां संपूजा विद्यते देवमनुष्याणाम अनेन तवं हॊतेति नियुक्तः
ये च मानुषा हॊत्राधिकारास ते च
बराह्मणस्यहि याजनं विधीयते न कषत्रवैश्ययॊर दविजात्यॊः
तस्माद बराह्मणा हय अग्निभूता यज्ञान उद्वहन्ति
यज्ञा देवांस तर्पयन्ति देवाः पृथिवीं भावयन्ति
