1

To Agni, this mighty God, I sing aloud with all my might. May he come to us with the Gods, and sit, the best Offerer, on the grass.

2

The Holy One, whose are the earth and sky, and help is ready when his strength is strong; Men who offer sacrifices praise him, and those who seek his grace.

3

He is the wise one who guides these men, the leader of sacred rites he is. Serve your own Agni well, who wins and gives wealth.

4

May gracious Agni grant us good shelter, wherever he showers wealth in the skies or waters.

5

Singers light him up, the Priest, Agni, Lord of men's tribes, Radiant and unmatched by his own excellent design.

6

Help us, you Brahman, best among those who invoke the Gods in song. Be bright, Friend of the Maruts, may bliss be on us, Agni, a generous God.

7

Grant us a thousandfold treasure with children and sustenance, And Agni, with hero strength, exalted, not wasting away.
