1

AGNI, take this burning brand, this offering in my prayer to you: Hear graciously these hymns of praise.

2

With this hymn honor you, seeker of horses, Son of Strength, With this beautiful hymn, born noble.

3

As such, lover of song, with songs, wealth-giver, giver of our wealth! With respect worship you.

4

Be you for us a generous king, giver and lord of precious things. Drive those who hate us far away.

5

Such as you are, bring rain from heaven, give strength that no one can resist: Bring plenty of food.

6

To him who praises you, seeking help, most youthful messenger! Through our song, Most holy Herald! come close.

7

Between both peoples, AGNI, Sage, skillfully you pass between them, As friendly envoy to humankind.

8

Befriend us as knowing all. Sage, worship the gods properly, And sit on this sacred grass.
