1.147.1

ka̱thā te̍ agne śu̱caya̍nta ā̱yor da̍dā̱śur vāje̍bhir āśuṣā̱ṇāḥ |
u̱bhe yat to̱ke tana̍ye̱ dadhā̍nā ṛ̱tasya̱ sāma̍n ra̱ṇaya̍nta de̱vāḥ ||

How, Agni, have the radiant ones, aspiring, endued thee with the vigour of the living, So that on both sides fostering seed and offspring, the Gods may joy in Holy Law's fulfilment?

1.147.2

bodhā̍ me a̱sya vaca̍so yaviṣṭha̱ maṁhi̍ṣṭhasya̱ prabhṛ̍tasya svadhāvaḥ |
pīya̍ti tvo̱ anu̍ tvo gṛṇāti va̱ndāru̍s te ta̱nva̍ṁ vande agne ||

Mark this my speech, Divine One, thou, Most Youthful! offered to thee by him who gives most freely. One hates thee, and another sings thy praises: I thine adorer laud thy form, O Agni.

1.147.3

ye pā̱yavo̍ māmate̱yaṁ te̍ agne̱ paśya̍nto a̱ndhaṁ du̍ri̱tād ara̍kṣan |
ra̱rakṣa̱ tān su̱kṛto̍ vi̱śvave̍dā̱ dipsa̍nta̱ id ri̱pavo̱ nāha̍ debhuḥ ||

Thy guardian rays, O Agni, when they saw him, preserved blind Mâmateya from affliction. Lord of all riches, he preserved the pious the foes who fain would harm them did no mischief.

The sinful man who worships not, O Agni, who, offering not, harms us with double-dealing,– Be this in turn to him a heavy sentence may he distress himself by his revilings.

Yea, when a mortal knowingly, O Victor, injures with double tongue a fellow-mortal, From him, praised Agni! save thou him that lauds thee: bring us not into trouble and affliction.
