1

Your messenger who has everything, immortal, bearer of your gifts, Best worshipper, I sing to you.

2

He, mighty, knows the gift of wealth, he knows the depths of heaven: He will bring the gods here.

3

He knows, a god himself, to lead the gods to the righteous in his home: He gives even treasures we love.

4

He is the herald: well-informed, he goes back and forth, Knowing the depths of heaven.

5

May we be those who offer sacrifices to Agni, Who cherish and kindle him.

6

They are illustrious for wealth and heroic deeds, victorious, Who serve Agni reverently.

7

May riches we desire come to us every day, And power and might grow for us.

8

May the holy singer, strong and swift, Shoot his arrows faster than the men's swift shafts.
