देवानामसि वह्नितमः पितॄणां प्रथमा स्वधा ।
ऋषीणां चरितं सत्यमथर्वाङ्गिरसामसि ॥ २.८॥
devānāmasi vahnitamaḥ pitṝṇāṃ prathamā svadhā .
ṛṣīṇāṃ caritaṃ satyamatharvāṅgirasāmasi .. 2.8..
Thou art the chief bearer of oblations to the gods and the first offering to the departed fathers; thou art the true activities of the rishis, of the Atharvangiras.
