prātar agniḥ purupriyo viśa stavetātithiḥ viśvāni yo amartyo havyā marteṣu raṇyati
At dawn let: Agni, much-beloved guest of the house, be glorified; Immortal who delights in all oblations brought by mortal men.

prātar agniḥ purupriyo viśa stavetātithiḥ viśvāni yo amartyo havyā marteṣu raṇyati
At dawn let: Agni, much-beloved guest of the house, be glorified; Immortal who delights in all oblations brought by mortal men.
dvitāya mṛktavāhase svasya dakṣasya maṃhanā induṃ sa dhatta ānuṣak stotā cit te amartya
For Dvita who receives through wealth of native strength maimed offerings, Thy praiser even gains at once the Soma-drops, Immortal Gods!
taṃ vo dīrghāyuśociṣaṃ girā huve maghonām ariṣṭo yeṣāṃ ratho vy aśvadāvann īyate
Nobles, with song I call that car of yours that shines with lengthened life, For, God who givest steeds! that car hither and thither goes unharmed.
citrā vā yeṣu dīdhitir āsann ukthā pānti ye stīrṇam barhiḥ svarṇare śravāṃsi dadhire pari
They who have varied ways of thought, who guard, the lauds within their lips, And strew the grass before the light, have decked themselves with high renown.
ye me pañcāśataṃ dadur aśvānāṃ sadhastuti dyumad agne mahi śravo bṛhat kṛdhi maghonāṃ nṛvad amṛta nṝṇām
Immortal Agni, give the chiefs, heroes who institute the rite, Heroes' illustrious, lofty fame, who at the synod met for praise presented me with fifty steeds.
