To this fair sacrifice and drink the milky draught, you are called:

O Agni, with the Maruts come.

No mortal man, no God surpasses your mental might, O Mighty One:

O Agni, with the Maruts come.

All gods without deceit, who know the great expanse of mid-air:

O Agni, with those Maruts come.

The terrible ones who sing their song, not to be vanquished by might:

O Agni, with those Maruts come.

Brilliant, awesome in form, mighty, devourers of their enemies:

O Agni, with those Maruts come.

Those who sit as Deities in heaven, above the sky's luminous dome:

O Agni, with those Maruts come.

Those who scatter clouds across the sky, over the billowing sea:

O Agni, with those Maruts come.

Those who spread their bright beams over the ocean in their might:

O Agni, with those Maruts come.

For you, to be your first draught, I pour the Soma-mixed mead:

O Agni, with the Maruts come.
