जीवानाम् आयुः प्र तिर त्वम् अग्ने पितॄणां लोकम् अपि गछन्तु ये मृताः । सुगार्हपत्यो वितपन्न् अरातिम् उषामुषां श्रेयसीं धेह्य् अस्मै ॥४५॥

jīvānām āyuḥ pra tira tvam agne pitṝṇāṃ lokam api gachantu ye mṛtāḥ | sugārhapatyo vitapann arātim uṣāmuṣāṃ śreyasīṃ dhehy asmai ||45||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Lengthen thou out, O Agni, the life-time of the living; let them who are dead go unto the world of the Fathers; do thou, a good householder's fire, burning away the niggard, assign to this man an ever better dawn.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
