Since, an ancient one, to be praised at the sacrifices, thou sittest as hótar both of old and recent—do thou, O Agni, both gratify thine own self, and bestow (ā-yaj) good fortune on us.

Born in jyeṣṭhaghnī́, in Yama's two Unfasteners (vicṛ́t)—do thou protect him from the Uprooter (mūlabárhaṇa); may he conduct him across all difficulties unto long life, of a hundred autumns.
