Chasing with light our sin away, O Agni, shine thou wealth on us. May his light chase our sin away.

sukṣetriyā sugātuyā vasūyā ca yajāmahe apa naḥ śośucad agham

For goodly fields, for pleasant homes, for wealth we sacrifice to thee. May his light chase our sin away.

Best praiser of all these be he; foremost, our chiefs who sacrifice. May his light chase our sin away.

pra yat te agne sūrayo jāyemahi pra te vayam apa naḥ śośucad agham

So that thy worshippers and we, thine, Agni, in our sons may live. May his light chase our sin away.

pra yad agneḥ sahasvato viśvato yanti bhānavaḥ apa naḥ śośucad agham

As ever-conquering Agni's beams of splendour go to every side, May his light chase our sin away.

tvaṃ hi viśvatomukha viśvataḥ paribhūr asi apa naḥ śośucad agham

To every side thy face is turned, thou art triumphant everywhere. May his light chase our sin away.

dviṣo no viśvatomukhāti nāveva pāraya apa naḥ śośucad agham

O thou whose face looks every way, bear us past foes as in a ship. May his light chase our sin away.
