यदा लेलायते ह्यर्चिःसमिद्धे हव्यवाहने ।तदाज्यभागावन्तरे-णाहुतीं प्रतिपादयेत् ॥ २ ॥
In plain words
When the flame flickers within the brightly blazing fire, right between the two butter-offerings one should pour the oblation.
Close to the Sanskrit
When indeed the flame flickers in the well-kindled bearer of oblations, then between the two portions of ghee one should offer the oblation.
