Forth from the sky, from the earth, from the atmosphere, out of the forest trees, the herbs—whithersoever borne, O Jātavedas, come thou, enjoying, thence to us.
What thy greatness is in the waters, what in the woods, what in the herbs, in the cattle, within the waters—all thy bodies (tanū́), O Agni, grasp together; with them come to us, a giver of property, unfailing.
What thy heavenly (svargá) greatness is, among the gods, what body of thine entered into the Fathers, what prosperity of thine was spread among men (manuṣyà)—therewith, O Agni, assign wealth to us.
To him of hearing ears, the poet, worthy to be known, I apply for gifts (rātí) with words, with speeches; whence [there is] fear, be there no fear for us; pacify (ava-yaj), O Agni, the wrath (héḍas) of the gods.
