With all thy fires, O Agni, find pleasure in this our sacrifice,
And this our speech, O son of Strength!

Whate'er, in this perpetual course, we sacrifice to God and God,
That gift is offered but in thee.

May he be our beloved King and excellent sweet-toned Hotar may
We with bright fires be dear to him
