1

SING out the pious offerings at your sacrifices to move with adorations Earth and Heaven— The Holy Singers, whose unmatched devotion sprout like a tree’s branches in every direction.

2

Let sacrifice proceed like some fleet courser: with one accord lift ye on high the ladles. Scatter sacred grass fit for the solemn service: bright flames that love the Gods have risen upward.

3

Like babes in arms resting on their mother, let the Gods sit upon the grass’s summit. Let general fire make bright the flame of worship: scorn us not, Agni, in the Gods’ assembly.

4

Gladly the Gods have let themselves be honored, milking the copious streams of holy order. Today’s highest might is yours, the Vasitsa—come ye, as many as ye are, one-minded.

5

So, Agni, send us wealth among the people: may we be closely joined to thee, O Victor, Unharmed, and rich, and sharing joy together. Preserve us evermore, ye gods, with blessings.
