Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Offer Citta, the mind, as a single oblation into Ātman, the fire that shines by its own light. Such a one is the true Agnihotrin, keeper of the sacred fire; the rest only carry the name.

Close to the Sanskrit

Into Ātman, the fire of self-luminosity, one should cast Citta—the mind—as the single oblation. That person should be known as an Agnihotrin; the others merely bear the name.
