Sing forth to him the holy, most munificent, sublime with his refulgent glow,
To Agni, ye Upastutas

Agni, he conquers by thine aid that brings him store of valiant sons and does great deeds,
Whose bond of friendship is thy choice

Sing praise to him the Lord of light! The Gods have made the God to be their messenger,
To bear oblation to the Gods.

Anger not him who is our guest! He is the bright God Agni, praised by many a man,
God Hotar, skilled in sacrifice.

May Agni, worshipped, bring us bliss: may the gift, blessed one! and sacrifice bring bliss.
Yea, may our eulogies bring bliss.

Thee have we chosen skilfullest in sacrifice, immortal Priest among the Gods,
Wise finisher of this holy rite.

Bring us that splendour, Agni, which may overcome each greedy fiend in our abode,
And the malicious wrath of men!

Soon as the eager Lord of men is friendly unto Manu's race
Agni averteth from us all the Rakshasas!

The sacrifice made Indra great when he unrolled the earth, and made
Himself a diadem in heaven.
