Let devotion be the ruling feeling of my heart when I shall give away edibles; let also my mind delight in the fountain of righteousness. Let, O Agni, no difficulty overtake me when I engage myself in the performance of pious deeds."
अन्नं मे ददतः श्रद्धा धर्मे मे रमतां मनः। अविनं चास्तु मे नित्यं धर्मकार्येषु पावक॥
