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

From behind, in front, below, and above, do thou, O Agni, a poet, protect us about with poesy; [as] friend a friend, [as] unaging in order to old age, [as] an immortal mortals, do thou [protect] us, O Agni.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
