1. ACCUSTOMED to the Herald's place, the
Herald hath seated him, bright, splendid, passing mighty,
Whose foresight keeps the Law from violation, excellent,
pure-tongued, bringing thousands, Agni.
2 Envoy art thou, protector from the
foeman, strong God, thou leadest us to higher blessings.
Refulgent, be an ever-heedful keeper, Agni, for us and for
our seed offspring.
3 May we adore thee in thy loftiest
birthplace, and, with our praises, in thy lower station.
The place whence thou issued forth I worship: to thee well
kindled have they paid oblations.
4 Agni, best Priest, pay worship with
oblation; quickly commend the gift to be presented;
For thou art Lord of gathered wealth and treasure. of the
bright song of praise thou art inventor.
5 The twofold opulence, O Wonder-Worker, of
thee new-born each day never decreases.
Enrich with food the man who lauds thee, Agni: make him the
lord of wealth with noble offspring.
6 May he, benevolent with this fair aspect,
best sacrificer, bring the Gods to bless us.
Sure guardian, our protector from the foemen, shine, Agni,
with thine affluence and splendour.
