6. Thou, mighty Agni, gatherest all that is precious for thy friend.
Bring us all treasures as thou art enkindled in the place of libations.
Assemble, speak together: let your minds be all of one accord;
As ancient gods unanimous sit down to their appointed share.
Uniform be your councils, identical be the assembly [*samiti*], alike be your minds, so be their thoughts united.
A common purpose do I lay before you, and worship with your general oblations.
One and the same be your resolve, and be your minds of one accord.
United be the thoughts of all that all may happily agree.¹
