Translation
(O fire divine), you are lustre, bright and immortal, preserver of life; may you preserve my life. (1) At the impulsion of the Creator Lord, I take you with arms of the healers and with hands of the nourisher. (2)
Note
According to the ritualists, the Adhvaryu priest ties a nişka, a golden ornament round the neck of the sacrificer and makes him recite this mantra. Tejo'si śukram amṛtam, you are the light (radiance), bright and immortal. Ayuşpā, preserver of life. Savituḥ prasave, at the impulsion of impeller Lord. Aśvinor bāhubhyām, with arms of the healers. Pūṣnoḥ hastābhyām, with hands of the nourisher. Treatment of disease and good nourishment are essential for a long life. There is not a word in the text to suggest that it refers to a gold ornament. Savitā, the Sun, is mentioned and it refers to him.
