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

Let the eastern fire burn (tap) thee happily (çám) in front; let the householder's fire burn happily behind; let the southern fire burn refuge, defense for thee; from the north, from the midst, from the atmosphere, from each quarter, O Agni, protect him round about from what is terrible.
