1

By good paths, Agni, lead us to wealth and prosperity. Remove the sins that make us stray and wander. We will offer you most extensive praise.

2

Lead us anew to happiness, O Agni; lead us beyond all danger and suffering. May you bless us with a wide, expansive castle. May your blessings reach our sons and offspring.

3

Far from us, Agni, place all diseases. Let those who do harm not have saving Agni. May our home be blessed by all Immortal Deities, O Holy One.

4

Preserve us, Agni, with constant support. Shine in the home you love. O Conqueror, most youthful, may no danger touch him who praises you today or tomorrow.

5

Do not give us over to sin, O Agni, the greedy foe that brings us trouble. Not to the fangs that bite, not to the toothless: do not give us over, Conqueror, to the spoiler.

6

As you are born under Law, O Agni, when praised, protect our bodies. From whoever seeks to reproach or harm: for you, God, deliver us from all oppression.

7

You, discerning both these classes, come to men at dawn, O holy Agni. Be obedient to man at dusk, adorned keenly by eager suitors.

8

To him we address our pious words, I, Māna's son, to this victorious Agni. May we gain countless riches with the wise. May we find abundant nourishment.
