Agni is head and height of heaven, the master of the earth is he:
He quickeneth the waters' seed.

Yea, Agni, thou as Lord of light rulest o'er choicest gifts may I,
Thy singer, find defence in thee

Upward, O Agni, rise thy flames, pure and resplendent, blazing high,
Thy lustres, fair effulgences.

O Agni, bring us wealth secure, vast wealth in horses and in kine:
Oil thou the socket, turn the wheel!
