Comment

Not found in Pāipp. Employed by Kāuś. for several purposes: first (45. 17, 18), after the end of the vaśāśamana, in a rite of due acceptance of sacrificial gifts, after any ceremony performed; second, in the godāna ceremony (54. 2), with vi. 53. 2; third, in the Vedic student ceremonies (57. 8), when supplying the place of a staff lost or destroyed; fourth, in the savayajñas (66. 2), with v. 10. 8 and vi. 53, with the direction iti pratimantrayate; it is also reckoned (9. 2), with 66 etc., to the bṛhachānti gaṇa; and the schol. add it (note to 6. 2) to hymn 106 in a rite of expiation for anything spilt or forgotten in the parvan sacrifices, and further, in the upanayana, in the reception of girdle and staff (notes to 56. 1 and 3). In Vāit. (18. 4) it appears in the agniṣṭoma, following the distribution of the fires.

A priest’s prayer to the Agnayo Dhishnyah

Translation

1. Again let sense (indriyá) come to me, again soul, property, and
   bráhmaṇa (sacred knowledge); let the fires of the sacred hearth again
   officiate just here in their respective stations.

Notes

The verse occurs in śśS. viii. 10. 2, with mām for mā in a, and,
in c, d, dhiṣṇyāso yathāsthānaṁ dhārayantām ihāi ’va; and the
pratīka púnar mā́m āítv indriyám is found in TA. i. 32. 1, but might
rather be intended to quote the parallel but quite different verse found
at AGS. iii. 6. 8: punar mām āitv indriyam punar āyuḥ punar bhagaḥ;
punar draviṇam āitu mām punar brāhmaṇam āitu mām; which MB. (i. 6. 33)
also has, with mā in c and d. ⌊Cf. TA. i. 30. 1; also MGS. i.
3. 1, and p. 152.⌋ AGS. adds a second verse, of which the first half
corresponds with our c, d: ime ye dhiṣṇyāso agnayo yathāsthānam iha
kalpatām ⌊cf. MGS. i. 3. 1⌋. The Anukr. seems to scan a and c
as 7 syllables each.

May sense return to me again, and spirit, return my Sacred Power and my possessions! Again let fires, aflame on lesser altars, each duly stationed, here succeed and prosper.
