Through potency of the Mantras with which libations of clarified butter are poured on the sacred fire, I take and appropriate the share of offerings made in sacrifices. My complexion also is of that in sacrifices. My complexion also is of that foremost of gems called Harit. It is for these reasons that I pass by the name of Hari.
इलोपहूतयोगेन हरे भागं क्रतुष्वहम्। वर्णश्च मे हरिः श्रेष्ठस्तस्माद्धरिरहं स्मृतः॥
