1. O Agni, strength and fame are thine: thy fires blaze
forth on high, O thou refulgent God!
Sage, passing bright, thou givest to the worshipper with power, the wealth
that merits laud.
2. With brilliantg purifying sheen, with perfect sheen thou
liftest up thyself in light.
Thou, visiting both thy mothers, aidest them as son; thou joinest close the
earth and heaven.
3. O Jatavedas, Son of Strength, rejoice thyself, gracious,
in our fair hymns and songs!
In thee have they heaped viands various, many formed; wealthborn, of
wondrous help are they.
4. Agni, spread forth, as ruler, over living things: give
wealth, to
us, immortal God!
Thou shinest out from beauty fair to look upon: thou leadest
us to beauteous Power.
5. I laud the Sage, who orders sacrifice, who hath great
riches under his control.
Thou givest blest award of good, and plenteous food, thou givest wealth that
wins success.
6. The men have set before them, for his favour, Agni,
strong, visible to all, the holy.
Thee, Lord divine, with ears to hear, most famous, mens' generations magnify
with praise-songs.
