As thou, O Agni, skillful Jatavedas, hast sacrificed as Priest of Earth, of Heaven, So with this offering bring the Gods, and prosper this sacrifice today as erst for Manu.
trīṇy āyūṃṣi tava jātavedas tisra ājānīr uṣasas te agne tābhir devānām avo yakṣi vidvān athā bhava yajamānāya śaṃ yoḥ
Three are thy times of life, O Jatavedas, and the three mornings are thy births, O Agni. With these, well-knowing, grant the Gods' kind favour, and help in stir aid stress the man who worships.
agniṃ sudītiṃ sudṛśaṃ gṛṇanto namasyāmas tveḍyaṃ jātavedaḥ tvāṃ dūtam aratiṃ havyavāhaṃ devā akṛṇvann amṛtasya nābhim
Agni most bright and fair with song we honour, yea, the adorable, O Jatavedas. Thee, envoy, messenger, oblation-bearer, the Gods have made centre of life eternal.
yas tvaddhotā pūrvo agne yajīyān dvitā ca sattā svadhayā ca śambhuḥ tasyānu dharma pra yajā cikitvo 'tha no dhā adhvaraṃ devavītau
That Priest before thee, yet more skilled in worship, stablished of old, healthgiver by his nature,- After his custom offer, thou who knowest, and lay our sacrifice where Gods may taste it.
