GREAT power is in the beam of light, sing praise to Agni, to the God Whom men have set in foremost place like Mitra with their eulogies.

He by the splendor of his arms is Priest of every able man. Agni conveys offerings straight, and deals, as Bhaga does, his boons.
3
All rests upon the praise and love of him the rich, high-flaming God, On whom, roaring loudly, men have laid great strength as on a faithful friend.

So, Agni, be the Friend of these with generous gift of heroic strength. Yea, Heaven and Earth have not surpassed this Youthful One in glorious fame.

O Agni, quickly come to us, and, glorified, bring precious wealth. So we and these our princes will assemble for the good of all. Be near in battle to prosper us.
