Atharva Veda 19.4: A prayer, accompanying sacrifice, for the attainment of a wish

The first oblation that Atharvan oared, earliest sacrifice paid by Jātavedas, Even this I, foremost, with repeated worship, now offer unto thee. May Agni carry the sacrificer's present. Hail to Agni!

In front I set Intention, blessed Goddess. Mother of thought, may she be prompt to hear us.
Mine, and mine only, be the hope I fashion! May I gain this that hath possessed my spirit.

With Purpose, O Prajāpati, with Purpose come thou near to us.
Bestow on us a share of luck, and so be swift to hear our call.

Prajāpati Angirasa with favour regard this word and this my settled purpose!
May he, whence Gods and Deities had being Kāma attend us with his gentle guidance.
