अयं जायत मनुषो धरीमणि होता यजिष्ठ उशिजाम् अनु व्रतम् अग्निः स्वम् अनु व्रतम् । विश्वश्रुष्टिः सखीयते रयिर् इव श्रवस्यते । अदब्धो होता नि षदद् इळस् पदे परिवीत इळस् पदे ॥
ayaṃ jāyata manuṣo dharīmaṇi hotā yajiṣṭha uśijām anu vratam agniḥ svam anu vratam | viśvaśruṣṭiḥ sakhīyate rayir iva śravasyate | adabdho hotā ni ṣadad iḷas pade parivīta iḷas pade ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
By Manu's law was born this Agni, Priest most skilled, born for the holy work of those who yearn therefore, yea, born for his own holy work. All ear to him who seeks his love and wealth to him who strives for fame, Priest ne'er deceived, he sits in Ila's holy place, girt round in Ila's holy place.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
