Through these our praises come thou to meet us, bright as the sunlight, O Agni, well disposed, with all thine aspects.

ābhiṣ ṭe adya gīrbhir gṛṇanto 'gne dāśema pra te divo na stanayanti śuṣmāḥ

Now may we serve thee singing these lauds this day to thee, Agni. Loud as the voice of Heaven thy blasts are roaring.

tava svādiṣṭhāgne saṃdṛṣṭir idā cid ahna idā cid aktoḥ śriye rukmo na rocata upāke

just at this time of the day and the night thy look is the sweetest . It shineth near us even as gold for glory.

ghṛtaṃ na pūtaṃ tanūr arepāḥ śuci hiraṇyam tat te rukmo na rocata svadhāvaḥ

Spotless thy body, brilliant as gold, like clarified butter: This gleams like gold on thee, O Self. dependent.

kṛtaṃ ciddhi ṣmā sanemi dveṣo 'gna inoṣi martāt itthā yajamānād ṛtāvaḥ

All hate and mischief, yea, if committed, Agni, thou turnest, Holy One, from the man who rightly worships.

śivā naḥ sakhyā santu bhrātrāgne deveṣu yuṣme sā no nābhiḥ sadane sasminn ūdhan

Agni, with you Gods, prosperous be our friendships and kinships. Be this our bond here by this place, thine altar.
