Chāndogyopaniṣadbhāṣyam

Verse 104

अमृतत्व देवेभ्य आगायानीत्यागाये- त्स्वधां पितृभ्य आशा मनुष्येभ्यस्तृणो- दक पशुभ्य स्वर्ग लोक यजमानायान्न- मात्मन आगायानीत्येतानि मनसा ध्या- यन्नप्रमत्त स्तुवीत ॥ २ ॥

In plain words

Thinking 'May I chant immortality for the gods,' one should sing; 'May I chant svadhā for the ancestors, fulfillment of hopes for humans, grass and water for cattle, the heavenly world for the sacrificer, and food for myself.' Contemplating these with a focused mind and without negligence, one should perform the chant.

Close to the Sanskrit

'May I chant immortality for the gods,' thus one should chant; 'svadhā for the ancestors, hopes for humans, grass and water for cattle, the heavenly world and food for the sacrificer, food for myself may I chant.' Contemplating these mentally, unnegligent, one should praise.
