घृतप्रतीकं व ऋतस्य धूर्षदम् अग्निम् मित्रं न समिधान ऋञ्जते । इन्धानो अक्रो विदथेषु दीद्यच् छुक्रवर्णाम् उद् उ नो यंसते धियम् ॥
ghṛtapratīkaṃ va ṛtasya dhūrṣadam agnim mitraṃ na samidhāna ṛñjate | indhāno akro vidatheṣu dīdyac chukravarṇām ud u no yaṃsate dhiyam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The kindler of the flame wins Agni as a Friend, promoter of the Law, whose face is bright with oil. Inflamed and keen, refulgent in our gatherings, he lifts our hymn on high clad in his radiant hues.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
