We celebrate you today, Agni, who are like a horse (in conveying our burden) with your praises, conveying (our wishes to the gods), and (who are) like a benefactor, propitious and affectionate.

Be now the conveyer, Agni, of our auspicious, powerful, efficacious, truthful, and great sacrifice.

Agni, who like the sun are light, propitiated by these our hymns, come to our presence with all your hosts (of radiance).

Glorifying you, Agni, today, with these our praises, may we offer you (oblations); your (flames), bright as those of the sun, roar aloud.

Your lovely radiance, Agni, whether by day or by night, shines upon (all objects) like an ornament (to give them) beauty.

Giver of sustenance, (Agni), your favour is free from fault, like clarified butter; your pure and golden lustre shines like an ornament.

Truthful, Agni, verily you remove from the mortal who instrumental tutes (your) worship, whatever sin has been committed (by him) of old.

May our friendly and fraternal attentions to your deities prove fortunate; for such (attentions shown) in every sacrifice (form) our security in the sphere (of the gods).
