AVŚ 18.4.8

अङ्गिरसाम् अयनं पूर्वो अग्निर् आदित्यानाम् अयनं गार्हपत्यो दक्षिणानाम् अयनं दक्षिणाग्निः । महिमानम् अग्नेर् विहितस्य ब्रह्मणा समङ्गः सर्व उप याहि शग्मः ॥८॥

aṅgirasām ayanaṃ pūrvo agnir ādityānām ayanaṃ gārhapatyo dakṣiṇānām ayanaṃ dakṣiṇāgniḥ | mahimānam agner vihitasya brahmaṇā samaṅgaḥ sarva upa yāhi śagmaḥ ||8||

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

The track (áyana) of the An̄girases is the eastern fire; the Ādityas' track is the householder's fire; the track of the sacrificial gifts is the southern fire; do thou, with thy limbs, whole (sárva), powerful (? çagmá), go unto the greatness of Agni [as] disposed by bráhman.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
