1

Today, with praise, Agni, we bring you what you love. Judgment right, like a horse, with our devotion.

2

You have always been the driver, Agni, of noble strength, Of great sacrifice, and rightful judgment.

3

Through these praises, may you come to meet us, bright as sunlight, O Agni, well-disposed, with all your forms.

4

May we sing these praises to you today, Agni, as we serve you. Your blasts roar like the voice of heaven.

5

At this time of day and night, your glance is the sweetest. It shines near us, like gold for glory.

6

Your body spotless, brilliant as gold, like clarified butter: This gleams like gold on you, O Self-dependent.

7

All hate and mischief, yes, if committed, Agni, you turn away, Holy One, from the one who rightly worships.

8

May you and the gods be prosperous in our friendships and kinship. May this be our bond here by this place, your altar.
